What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt Therapy is among the earliest and most enduring of psychotherapeutic approaches. Firmly grounded in ‘the relationship between therapist and client’ as the source of healing; the ‘client’ may be a person, a couple, a family, group, organization or community. Embracing the philosophies of phenomenology, field theory and dialogue and grounded in psychoanalytic, existential and intersubjective theories, contemporary Gestalt therapy emphasizes a relational perspective in understanding human experience.
Attention is paid to a person's whole life experience - physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual. Each of these interconnected aspects of living is considered inseparable from a person's immediate context, personal history, culture, relationships and aspirations for the future.
Fundamentally, the aim of Gestalt Therapy is to heighten awareness. This principle in and of itself is profound in promoting healing and growth. The Gestalt therapist essentially provides a space free of judgement, and respectfully allows 'what is' to be explored and experienced more completely. Furthermore, the therapist trusts the process of the client to guide the work, relinquishing any agenda to where the session should go. Gestalt therapy encourages individuals to experience themselves and life more fully, in a supportive, empowering, and growthful way. (extracted from TGI and GANZ websites)
