Gestalt therapy
Gestalt therapy was founded by a German psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in the 1950s. Therapy experience "here and now, she is very interested in contact with the environment and personal responsibility.
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt/ gestalten comes from the German verb meaning "to structure". The goal? Broadening the scope of our potential, increase the sense of responsibility and autonomy, rehabilitate the emotional feeling often censored by Western culture and improve our ability to adapt to different environments or beings.
Unlike many approaches that attempt to explain the psyche in static terms (the id and the ego in psychoanalysis, the ego states in transactional analysis), Gestalt therapy is a dynamic view. She is interested in the permanent adjustment between the individual and its environment is constantly changing. According to the gestalt, it is essential to understand the inseparable unity of body and environment. In addition, Gestalt therapy, the time axis is modified and the difficulty regarded as part of the here and now.
For whom?
Gestalt is used in psychotherapy for people suffering from psychological or psychosomatic or wishing to better assume a special position as a bereavement or break. One can also use the gestalt therapy, personal development or within the enterprise training, consulting, or coaching. However, this method is cons-indicated for people too unstructured, for whom it is difficult to distinguish between "staging" and "take action".
What happens during a session?
A session "type", individually or in groups, takes place in 3 phases:
- The patient expresses a difficulty or a feeling this.
- The therapist identifies the patient's unconscious gestures. Then he moved to exaggerate, to be staged. These actions focus on behaviour, awareness can correct them; discover a problem from another angle, finding a hidden emotion.
-S follows a time of actuation, the patient may, with the help of his therapist, experimenting with ways to change their attitude if the difficult situation arises, that is to say, change their "habits of contact "with the environment. He learns to create links between what comes to live within a session and the realities of the outside world.
How much does it cost?
Individual therapy takes on average two years at a session of one hour per week. Rates vary from 50 to 80 . For group work, courses cost an average of 100 to 150 the day.
The words of Gestalt
- The here and now
some forms of therapy, known as upstream, are centred on why the trauma. Other currents are "downstream therapies" that seek to liberate the behaviour, to "clean up the banks, to allow it to flow more freely. Gestalt is a "current therapy" of "movement": what is important is the process, rather than why. The difficulty is viewed in the context of the here and now.
- The cycle of contact
it describes the steps that we usually follow when we enter into relationship with a person with a need, with an emotion. This cycle of contact-withdrawal, that is to say, how a need arises in our consciousness develops, is satisfied then fades, giving way to a new need.
