Two days are also set aside in between for pure supervition in your own practice, PFO category A. It is also possible to get individual follow-up as needed.
"UNFINISHED BUSINESS"/ UNFINISHED EVENTS/ SITUATIONS/ TRAUMA
Zinker writes that if we do not organize and process the "unfinished events/situations, the unfinished gestalts/ traumas" 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 could move on with our life."
I LOVE . . . FIELD
AND I FIND IT 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 gestalts/ traumas so that I can contribute to precisely new experiences. Then there will perhaps be less creative adaptation here and now.

New international group (max 22 people) Starts in December 2026. Eight sessions over two days in one year. All sessions are DIGITAL on Zoom. The course runs on weekdays: Tuesday and Wednesday. Two days are set aside in between for pure supervition on your own practice, PFO category A. It is also possible to get individual follow-up as needed.
A typical session will look like this: Every day we start with a check in and a following awareness experiments and a little body focus. Then there is a theory part before we start working with unfinished gestalts with the field support method in the group. We don't stress and have space for approx 3 - people will get their gestalt process every day . . .
You decide whether you want to work or not, during the eight moduls.
Beeing field support for others or observe is important and you learn a lot by participating or observing the work of others. Everything is voluntary and the main focus is to work with your own unfinished gestalts, so that "the field becomes more open to working on this together with your clients". Those who are starting now are CLASS VII and I see and have seen the development of those who have taken the previous classes. It is impressive to see what they have invested in themselves ((:
After completing the course series, you will receive a certificate of participation with the topics we have covered and the number of PFO (professional academic update) hours category B and A you have participated in. This is the NGF (Norwegian Gestalt Therapy Association's) professional update according to EAGT's requirements for membership. NGF members are members of EAGT through their membership in NGF, when they maintain the requirements for membership in the association.
During the course, you will receive my working document, a approx 100-page PDF where the academic foundation is described. You will also have access to videos that are made along the way.
A VERY warm welcome to you; when you sign up!
“The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” . . .
By James A. Garfield
This is a truth with modifications. It is not enough, to only feel miserable. You will have to face difficult questions and new information that may change how you see yourself and where you come from. You also have to feel your body, feel your feelings and to go deeper into pain and sorrows. Ex; that you was not wanted/ acknowledge as a infant/ child. And you have to be willing to admit that I have unfinished gestalts, unfinished business, that I am also traumatized. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that those of us who want to be “helpers” also are the ones who “need to take another look at myself and my life”! This is a good start!
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."
. . . Carl Jung
The ultimate goal for Jung was to become your "true self".
In gestalt we do not think this way, maybe growing your sense of a self can be a stepping stone to be aware of "who I become in relation to you".
This quote encourages us to take the journey to authenticity. It will be challenging and also deeply rewarding.
Gestalt therapy, as Perls conceived it, sought to restore our lost innocence; so this ”continuing education” can be one step on the path to just that...
