Gestalt Therapy, rooted in Existential, Humanistic, and Zen philosophy, takes an experiential approach focused on the present moment.
This modality of therapy emphasizes authenticity and engages the therapist in a dynamic, relational, and humanistic manner.
In Gestalt, the therapist encourages clients to be in the here and now, exploring emerging sensations, emotions, thoughts, dreams, and more with curiosity and mindfulness.
The therapy integrates social, economic, and cultural factors, treating the session as an experiment to illuminate and resolve issues, fostering growth and change.
The existentialist and egalitarian framework of Gestalt places significance on the therapeutic encounter, aiming for successful interactions at the contact boundary.
Sessions may involve body awareness, alignment, and movement exploration, recognizing the body as a vital communicator.
By addressing incomplete or unresolved aspects of life, Gestalt Therapy seeks to guide individuals toward a healthier process of self-awareness and awakening in the dance of life.
