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.

Enneagram. Character and evolution in Gestalt therapy

L 'E nneagramma , ancient method of self-knowledge and spiritual evolution, seems to have originated in Persia more than two thousand years ago, where it was used as an initiatory journey from Sufi masters.

is a tool to increase awareness of themselves

helps them discover their own uniqueness and to grasp the similarities with other people helps you see the acts and conduct automated personal inclinations, the selective trends of their way to observe and understand the world around them, in other words, it helps to recognize the dynamics that affect their lives.

What is the nature ?

back at the history of psychology can be seen that, as always, anyone who has taken an interest in human behavior have noted this in mind, depending on the author, a centering, a fixation or a distortion of his personality .

First of all is the theory of Karen Horney, who had identified three types of character : those focused on 'independence , those centered the power and those centered on ' love.

Another position is that of Heinz Kohut, who studied different types of transference (and therefore indirectly of character), I called three pillars: the mirror transference, the idealizing transference and the transference twin .

These clinical observations centered on personality differences assume greater importance when they are identified and proposed also in experimental research, such as the theory of John Bowlby. He

, noting in an experimental setting to the report of dyad between mother and child, described as potential predictors of personality development, three different modes of attachment of the child toward his mother: that avoidant, ambivalent than and the disorganized.

Despite this brief introduction, it is still not answered the original question: what is the nature ?

In fact, the analysis focuses on manifestations of character, its different functions, but has yet to define its nature.

To try to get closer to its definition may be appropriate with some analogies and metaphors.

A first interesting metaphor is that of Jung: "the character is like a necklace made up of many beads connected by a single thread."

He believed that personality is a dynamic structure through mutual cooperation of the archetypes, which represent the basic components through which psychic energy is manifested.

His metaphor identifies and places within each archetype of a pearl and sees a whole, the formation of the series, the relationship between them.

The harmony of nature and welfare of the person is in relation to the harmony between archetypes, and the discomfort and psychological distress was dependent on a poor match between the archetypes.

disharmony back to the metaphor of a pearl necklace when unsaturated starts to absorb more energy at the expense of others, and continuing in this behavior hypertrophy causes a decompensation of the collection.

Another interesting metaphor is that of Money: "the character is like a government that administers the nation."

A republican government exercises its power through the ministries: they are its executive functions and the work of these depends on the good performance of the nation.

This metaphor sees the government as the ego, the ego functions as the ministries and the nation as a body or self.

The harmony and the welfare of the nation is given by the goodness of its democratic government, while his suffering is the presence of a dictatorial government which was established by a military coup. In a dictatorial state

all incoming information, energy resources and economic resources are filtered by the activity of a single ministry, military, and is the only decision that the way in which they are made available to the nation.

This can be called the character , as for instance a deputy to the management of personal and emotional resources of a person.

goodness and harmony of nature depends on the well-being or discomfort to a person.

L ' Enneagram identifies nine major forms of alteration of the character .

The types of character differ from each other for different modes of management, control and manipulation of affective emotional relationships with others and the world. The

character is neither anything good nor anything bad in itself. It plays a fundamental existential, behavior management of the person within its environment. The goodness of

a person's character lies in its dynamism and flexibility in its ability to adapt as best you can in relation to different types of environments and situations, such as those relating to employment, those related to love and those relating to pleasure and fun.

alterations of character make adaptation difficult and hard, thus reducing the chances that a person has to trade satisfactorily with others and the world.

restrictions and reduction of the exchange functional with the other comes the pain and psychological distress.

Work psychotherapeutic aims all'aiutare the person to focus their alteration of character, all'aiutarla in understanding how certain modes of behavior are not arbitrary and spontaneous, but the automatic modes, rigid and repetitive management and control of affect themselves and others.

The goal of therapeutic work centered on the character is not to eliminate or change this, because if anything were possible to do this, would lead to a reversal of a "coup" to present a different, or to a kind of way instead of another.

The work aims to make the more democratic and flexible its character , so would resume the process of functional behavior that Fritz Perls called "organismic self" , or the rebirth of their inner wisdom.
