Health Advice and Information on Gestalt Counselling Therapists that help heal and deal with problems using Gestalt Counselling Gestalt Counsellor, Gestalt Therapists, click apples GESTALT Gestalt Therapy The aim of Gestalt therapy is to raise the awareness of the client of their individual function and behaviour in their personal environments. Essential to the Gestalt view of the self, is the observation that people define, develop and learn about their ever changing selves in relation to other people. The person to person relationship is now widely recognised as a principle component of healing across the fields of counselling and psychotherapy. The focus of Gestalt theapy is the here and now, the present. The past is gone and the future has not happened. Past events are looked at and viewed from in the now, as in they are not looked at from the childhood eyes of the child the client was, but from the perspective of the adult the client now is. The client need not regress back into childhood. The past is gone. In the now though we do carry much of our past with us. What happened in our past is either assimilated and has become part of us, or we carry around with us the unfinished situation, an incomplete gestalt. You can always blame the parents if you want to play the blaming game. Parents can be blamed and be made responsible for all you problems in the here and now. But this does not help. Until the individual is wiling to let go of the parents and blame and accept as an adult that they are now an adult and responsible. Not to say that the blame is now at the client s feet, but that the recovery and changing process is. To let go and forgive ones parents is one of the hardest things that a client may be asked to do, and although may seems difficult and perhaps unneccessary at first. The rewards of doing so will bring a new freedom and a better way of living. Unfinished business or unexpressed feelings are often those such as RAGE, RESENTMENT, ANGER, HATRED, GRIEF, PAIN, ANXIETY, GUILT, ABANDONMENT ETC. These are all powerful feeling, but may not always be fully experienced in awareness, they may be feelings that are surpressed. This often leads to unsatisfactory contact and relationships with those around us. Each time a person attempts to meet the original need that resulted in these negative feelings, they seem to fail over and over again, since the process is based on the original experience. The original experience ended in failure so will the subsequent attempts. |
