GESTALT THERAPY
What´s most importent for me as a teacher, supervisor or therapist is that I have acces to the art and beauty of "gestalting". And that I recognize the importance of addressing my own unfinished gestalts regularly, to foster a space for authentic connection and growth in relation with my students, klients and supervisee.
The modality is rooted in humanistic psychology, emphasizing the significance of the therapeutic relationship. Founded by Laura and Fritz Perls along with Paul Goodman in the 1950s and 60s, it integrates Gestalt psychological theories with existential-phenomenological philosophy.

THE FIELD IS EXCITING! Roughly simplified, I can say: In Gestalt therapy theory, we believe that healing can happen in relationship with the therapist. Both therapist and client influence and are influenced by each other. This can create new experiences in the field.
Then it becomes extra important for me, that I as a therapist work with my own unfinished business so that I can contribute to precisely new experiences. Perhaps there will be less creative adjustment here and now.
Zinker writes that if we do not organize and process the "unfinished events/situations, the unfinished bisiness, unfinished gestalts" from childhood, they will disturb us for the rest of our lives. He believed that Laura and Fritz Perls had created a direction in psychology "to complete unfinished business - to make them whole inside of us - so we can move on with our life."
