Qualities for Successful Gestalt Experiences
Rather your goal is to discover yourself, heal harmful childhood memories, improve your ability to experience intimate relationships or learn to live in the present, Gestalt Therapy offers you the stage to examine the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that can either hinder you or transform you. However, Gestalt Therapy IS NOT for everyone. To participate successfully in this dynamic process, there are certain attributes that serve as the catalyst for growth, healing and transformation. Take this little self-test to determine if this therapeutic approach is right for you:
 I am committed to growing and increasing my level of self-awareness
 I accept responsibility for my choices and actions
 I am curious about the relationship between my thoughts, actions and feelings
 I am able to live in uncertainty
 I can allow emotions such as fear and anger to be experienced in my body
 I am motivated to change the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer support my well-being
 I strive to be authentic and transparent in my relationships
 I am willing to give and receive supportive and constructive feedback
 I accept that other points of view may be equally valid
 I can self-observe, self-evaluate and self-correct
 I embrace diversity
 I trust in processes that unfold in the most natural and organic manner. Therefore, I can let go and "trust the process"
If you experience yourself in any of these ways, or if these are traits that you wish to cultivate within yourself, then Gestalt Therapy is the perfect tool to promote your inward journey. Welcome to the Gestalt Community!
