Whole&#8217;, a completion that is other than the sum of it\u2019s parts.\u00a0 Gestalt Therapy&#8217;s objective is to support the person in his\/her quest to become more fully and creatively alive, to become free from the blocks and unfinished businesses which diminish excitement, satisfaction, fulfilment and growth.\u00a0 Being part of a whole with the mind, emotional and spiritual aspects of the person means including the awareness of how one&#8217;s thoughts and feelings are embodied experiences.\u00a0 The invitation is to become present to, and with, the experience of the interaction of body-mind processes.\u00a0 The view is to find ways to self-organise and self regulate that differ from habitual reactions to triggers.<\/p>\n<p>Gestalt Therapy focuses on process (what is actually happening between past and present) as well as on content (behaviours, and day to day events).\u00a0 The emphasis is on what is being done, thought, and felt in the here and now, and to distinguish it from what might have been and should have been in the past (there and then).\u00a0 Often the realisation is that a there-and-then experience is being re-enacted in the here-and-now.<\/p>\n<p>Each person&#8217;s uniqueness has its roots in an environment, or field, that stems from a there-and-then experience.\u00a0 As the person develops these new awareness, they also learn to differentiate their personal experience from that of others.\u00a0 It is with these learnings that the therapy supports the gradual building of new confidence in the here and now.<\/p>\n<p>Gestalt therapy holds, like other psychotherapeutic modalities, qualities of being relational and humanistic.\u00a0 Clients learn to become aware of how and what they are doing and being, to bring forth their ability to make changes, and to experiment with new ways of doing and being.<\/p>\n<p>Gestalt Therapy is experimental and experiential in its approach.\u00a0 It relies on the awareness of what constitutes contact and how contact becomes modified within oneself, in relationship, and with one&#8217;s own environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gestalt Psychotherapy About Gestalt Psychotherapy Gestalt is a German word which
