Mind Mastery Coaching

Personal development for people with covert schizoid personality

Joanna Zbroniec-Chimenti

MSc Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, BSc(Hons) Psychology

How to find the way of being that reconciles the conflict between schizoid and non-schizoid parts of yourself? The schizoid dilemma can lead to self-doubt, unsatisfying relationships and feelings of emotional detachment or emptiness. By working with Joanna, your integrative coach, you will develop clarity on who you are and what you want, improve your relationships and reconnect with your feelings.

What is the covert schizoid dilemma?

When thinking about your personal development, you might encounter the key dilemma of the covert schizoid personality:

Do you need change your schizoid traits? Or do you need to fully accept being a covert schizoid?

The result of this push and pull is getting stuck in a paralysing mindset of self-doubt, frustration or shame.

One side of you might push you towards changing yourself so that you can be “normal”, whilst ignoring your true self. This might lead you towards anhedonia, emptiness or lack of meaning.

The other side might push you towards accepting the way you are and give up on self-improvement. This might lead to social isolation, loneliness or emotional detachment.

The results of this conflict which are also the main symptoms of the covert schizoid personality might include:

  • self-doubt and insecurity around self-expression, assertiveness and making decisions

  • empty and unsatisfying relationships, struggles with codependency, feeling invisible or abruptly cutting people out

  • burnout, lack of motivation or anhedonia

  • self-sabotage, low self-esteem and anxiety

So, do you fix the schizoid part of your personality, or do you embrace it?

About Mind Mastery Coaching

As an integrative coach specialising in schizoid personality, and in particular the covert or secret schizoid version of it, my whole approach is tailored towards helping you to “calibrate”: how to find the way of being that reconciles the conflict between schizoid and non-schizoid parts of yourself. Since I can personally relate to and understand both modes (schizoid and non-schizoid), I will be able to assist you in resolving and even transcending this conflict.

By working with me, you will:

  • find a fresh sense of autonomy and direction in life

  • learn how to meet your needs and develop self-care habits

  • develop greater emotional awareness and learn how to use feelings to aid your goals

  • improve the quality of your relationships and social interactions by learning what you want from others and how to pursue it (even if you don't want anything, that's still wanting something)

  • become more assertive and improve your communication skills

Sessions are conducted online via Zoom and last 60 minutes.

Positive results of working with me can be experienced after the 1st session. In order to make solid and long-lasting changes, I recommend weekly sessions for at least 6 to 12 months. However, even regular, monthly sessions can make a huge difference in your life. It is up to you how much you are willing to commit to this process of self-transformation.

Most work is done within the session and my only expectation for you is to show up with a willingness to explore different ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

My methods are based on the unique blend of Gestalt therapy, humanistic philosophies and developmental coaching. Gestalt therapy has been described as experiential, experimental and existential – these are the core perspectives I support my clients in engaging with.

Please note – although I use certain elements of Gestalt therapy, coaching is not a substitute for therapy. I don't provide treatment of any mental health disorders. However, working with me might indirectly provide therapeutic benefits.
