reflects a sense of
personal ownership rather
than focusing on others.
GESTALT TECHNIQUE
BODY LANGUAGE
• During a session, a gestalt
therapist will observe the
client's body language and
movement such as tapping
their foot, wringing their
hands, or making a certain
facial expression. The
therapist is likely to mention
their observation of this and
ask what is happening for the
person at that moment.
G E S TALT T E C H N I Q U E
LOCATING EMOTION
• During a session, it is
common for people to talk
about emotion. Talking about
emotion is different than
experiencing an emotion.
• As a client talks about
emotion, the therapist may
ask them where they feel that
emotion in their body.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. It's a form of therapy that focuses on the present moment rather than past experiences.
  2. Anxiety. Gestalt therapy helps people focus on the present Behavioral health issues. Gestalt therapy can help people with behavioral conditions like Bipolar disorder Depression. Since gestalt therapy focuses on self-awareness, it can help people with Depression become aware of possible stressful situations that trigger their depression Relationship difficulties. Gestalt therapy can help couples recognize underlying destructive behaviors that may be negatively impacting their relationships. Self-esteem issues. Gestalt therapy helps people with low self-esteem identify and overcome underlying factors that contribute to their low self-esteem
  3. Questions such as “What is happening now?” or “What are you feeling in this moment?” are used to intensify the experience of the present & create awareness“Why” questions lead only toward rationalizations and “self- deceptions” away from the immediacy of the moment
  4. For example, rather than saying, "If he didn't do that I wouldn't get so mad!" a client might be encouraged to say, "I feel mad when he does that because it makes me feel insignificant and I don't like that."The use of "I" statements is important in gestalt therapy.
  5. Incorporating language, the gestalt therapist may even ask the client to give their foot, hands, or facial expression a voice and speak from that place.
  6. Examples of how a person might describe how they're experiencing emotion in their body include "a pit in my stomach" or "my chest feels tight." Being able to bring the emotional experience to awareness in the body helps the client stay present and process their emotions more effectively.
  7. Used to help the client get in touch with other views or other aspects of self
  8. … example of role-playing might be what is referred to as "top dog and underdog." In this, it is recognized that a client has different parts of self. Similar to the empty chair, the client speaks as both the top dog, which is the more demanding side of their personality and the underdog, which is the more submissive and obedient side of their personality.
  9. The therapist may request you to exaggerate a specific behavior or emotion. This helps in identifying and addressing the root of the problem.
  10. When an individual makes peace with who they are as a person, it helps them live in the present. This result in more positive feelings and mood.When an individual makes peace with who they are as a person, it helps them live in the present. This result in more positive feelings and mood.
  11. This helps them focus on the here and now. The objective of this technique is to help them live for the present and make positive changes going forward.
