💡 Study Tips:
  • • Start with schemas in your highest YSQ-R domain (Disconnection, Autonomy, etc.)
  • • Mark schemas as “mastered” when you can explain them without looking
  • • Add personal examples—schemas you understand in your own life stick better
  • • Use these flashcards before couples conversations to identify active schemas
