What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is centered on increasing a person's awareness, freedom, and self-direction. It's a form of therapy that focuses on the present moment rather than past experiences. Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that people are influenced by their present environment. Each individual works to achieve personal growth and balance. Gestalt therapy focuses on the use of empathy and unconditional acceptance. This helps individuals get rid of distress by learning how to trust and accept what they feel.
The Concept of Gestalt Therapy
The word "gestalt" is a German term with no direct English translation. It generally means "whole" or "form." It is an idea that views every individual as a blend of the mind, emotions, body, and soul with unique experiences and realities. In practice, psychology professionals apply this concept by helping people concentrate on what's happening in their lives at the present moment rather than focus on their past experiences. Gestalt therapy puts the focus on the here and now. Through gestalt therapy, individuals are able to develop new perspectives and bring positive changes into their lives. They can do this because gestalt therapy promotes increased self-awareness and a clear understanding of thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
