“If we were to choose one key idea to stand as a symbol for the Gestalt approach, it might well be the concept of authenticity, the quest for authenticity... The therapist cannot teach what she does not know... A therapist knows within herself that she is communicating her own fears as well as her courage, her defensiveness as well as her openness, her confusion as well as her clarity.”
— Simkin and Levitsky, Gestalt Theory, 1972
The aim of Gestalt is to explore and discover our wholeness – our authenticity. We do this by raising awareness and integrating the disparate parts of ourselves, to become who we truly are.
A Gestalt I–Thou relationship, in any therapeutic setting, is sacred. It offers the optimal space for healing in those we serve. Becoming a better communicator is the aim – but it comes from the heart.
