Gestalt Therapy
What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt Therapy is a therapeutic approach focused on the present experience and self-awareness. It is based on the idea that humans have an innate ability for self-regulation and personal growth. The therapy aims to help individuals become aware of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the here and now.
Through Gestalt Therapy, the goal is for individuals to become aware of their behavior patterns, identify barriers to their well-being, and find new ways to relate to themselves and others. This therapeutic approach emphasizes personal responsibility and authentic contact with one’s own feelings and needs.
