gestalt therapy [Theme]
“We fill in the physical outline of the being we see with all the ideas we have already built about it, and in the final image of it that we create in our mind, these ideas, of course, occupy the main place. Finally, they fit so closely to the contours of his cheeks, follow the curve of his nose so perfectly, blend so harmoniously with the sound of his voice, that it all seems to be nothing more than a transparent shell, so that every time we see a face or hear a voice , we recognize in it nothing more than our own ideas about it.

Gestalt promotes authentic contact with others, creative adaptation of the organism to its environment, and awareness of the internal mechanisms that very often push us into repetitive and outdated behavior that has lost its effective force. It reveals blockade processes and breaks in the normal cycle of need satisfaction, it exposes our avoidances, our fears and our repressions, as well as our illusions.

Gestalt does not force us to subdue our emotions, ... i.e. reduce them to slavery! It is rather about "taming" them, that is, about getting to know them as best as possible and making them our friends - with whom we can talk confidentially. Do not oppose, do not fight against, but move forward together.

First of all, Gestalt prescribes to know yourself as best as possible and to accept yourself as you are, and not to try to change in favor of some real or idealized standard, whatever it may be: individual or social, internal or external, philosophical-moral or religious.

Gestalt therapy is aimed at maintaining and developing harmonious well-being, and not at “fighting” and “repairing” certain disorders, whatever they may be.

Gestalt's goal is not simply to clarify the nature of our difficulties, but to experiment with blueprints for new solutions: to the study of "know why", he adds "feel how" - the main engine of change.
