At Instituto Antares, we offer Gestalt Therapy as a powerful tool to help you live a fuller and more conscious life. Founded by Fritz Perls and his colleagues in the 1940s, Gestalt Therapy focuses on present experience and self-discovery to address emotional and psychological problems.
What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that emphasizes present-moment awareness and direct experience. Instead of solely focusing on the past or dream interpretation, Gestalt Therapy aims for individuals to recognize and experience their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in the “here and now.”
The therapeutic process is based on the idea that self-understanding and personal growth arise when people connect with their current emotions and experiences. The therapy uses techniques such as dialogue and dramatization to help clients explore their emotions and resolve internal conflicts.
