What you’ll learn
Introduction to Gestalt
+-
Dialogue and the i-thou relationship
The dialogic relationship is a sacred relationship, characterised by deep respect and equality. You’ll learn that your role as therapist is not to try to ‘fix’ your client. It is to listen without manipulation, embracing them fully and feeding-back what you have heard. This principle of Gestalt dictates that when we are truly heard, healing takes place naturally.
+-
Awareness raising
QEC works to change limiting belief systems. The best way to uncover the core of the issue you’d like to work on is to sit with a therapist who understands Gestalt and who knows how to listen. Listening encourages your client to open up. In turn, they become more aware of things they were previously unaware of. Change is not possible without awareness.
+-
Phenomenology
This is a way of engaging with your client that notices the tiny things that can bring about awareness. For example, you may see a tear forming. This approach would lead you to say “I’m noticing a tear forming” - instead of “I notice you are sad”. The tear may bring awareness to the client who says “Yes, it’s a tear of frustration”. Sharing in minute detail is a very powerful way to raise awareness.

• The importance of working with the subconscious mind
• How to ‘re-wire’ the neural pathways in our brain
• Why we repeat negative patterns of behaviour and how to permanently break them
• The role of the placebo and nocebo effects
• The power of heart-brain coherence to relieve stress and improve health
• Simple ways to create the optimal (gamma) brain wave state for lasting change
