An experiential approach

Gestalt therapy is defined as an experiential approach , or a method that its therapeutic action based on experience. But what does it mean and why bring an experiential?

The experiential method embodies the basic principles of Gestalt therapy: the value of now ; the feel like no other possibility of knowledge, the search for meaning from personal sense, the parity of the therapeutic relationship.

The value of now, the here and now , listening and observation aware of what is happening inside of me and what is happening between me and the other is the starting point to plan any action. Gestalt therapy, the daughter of existentialism, consider this as the only possible reality. Even actions such as remembering events or imagine future situations, such as stories or stories of events that occurred during the week, take shape and are expressed exclusively in the present. Return value all'adesso allows the person to make sense of what he is doing, to see what is the purpose of expressing their experience and return to its uniqueness .

The experience leads to contact with themselves and with each other. Being in contact with oneself and with others does not mean what you are doing, but live their feelings and emotions in relation to what is happening. The feel, as opposed to thinking, returns to the person a sense of time and of his being in the world . Through contact reality loses its ordinary representation to charge their own and others' intentions . It loses its neutrality and became apparent around the territory over which the search for satisfaction of their needs. Thinking, namely the desire to understand, is restored to its original function: as an instrument in the service experience feeling. This experience leads to recognize what is pleasant and unpleasant thing is of what I'm experiencing, what is creating discomfort and suffering and what comfort and pleasure.

Usually, when a person faces a new situation, almost like a reflection turns its attention to the search for meaning, to understand what's happening or to quickly figure out what to do, at the expense of time required to bring listening to what is happening, What are you trying and what they need. This mode chokes

coercive and lose the sense of the experience in which the person has encountered, reducing this to one of the many situations already experienced. Slowly the environment in which they live becomes a stereotype and a film already seen. The situations of interest and lose the creative vitality becomes more flat and pointless.

Feeling giving us the knowledge which comes from looking for the open resources, both internal and external to the reformulation of the reality that we are considering as problematic, and creatively to find those appropriate actions to improve situation.

re-learn the ability to feel the experience allows you to start again to find interest to others and the environment, and re-appropriated for its creative ability to find what we need.

Experience is a process in motion. The customer participates by

equal with the therapist. Both sail on its feeling and go in search of new opportunities satisfactory. There is an authoritarian position, which entitles you to a person who is supposed to know more, to impose their own interpretations and knowledge of another, which is supposed to know less.

These patiently weave together a fabric in order to build a functional relationship that opens to the customer, but also to the therapist, a path toward a better quality of life.
