What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt therapy was founded by Fritz Perls and focuses on the experience in the present moment, bodily awareness, and authentic contact. The therapist helps you become aware of what is happening here and now — in your body, your feelings, and your contact with the world. By increasing this awareness, unfinished experiences and stuck patterns can be released. The method is used for anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, and personal growth.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
What is the 'empty chair' technique?
It is a classic gestalt technique where you speak to an empty chair as if a specific person is sitting there. It helps express unspoken feelings, resolve unfinished relationships, and create new understanding of interpersonal conflicts.
What does 'contact' mean in gestalt therapy?
Contact refers to your ability to be in genuine, present connection with yourself, others, and the world. Gestalt therapy examines how you avoid or interrupt contact and helps you restore it.
Is gestalt therapy suitable for everyone?
Gestalt therapy is particularly well-suited for people who want to work experientially with feelings and the body. It is effective for relational difficulties, anxiety, depression, and personal growth but may feel unfamiliar to those who prefer pure talk therapy.
