Overview

Master the techniques of Gestalt Therapy by enrolling on the Gestalt Therapy Level 2 course.

Gestalt Therapy was first developed by Fritz Perls to help patients by focusing on their present instead of past memories.  It is a psychotherapeutic approach that guides the patients to think about the present and to find happiness in the present instead of remembering past experiences. The therapy sometimes helps you to treat past conflicts by role-playing.

The course shows you how to use the Gestalt approach for treating your patients. You will learn the importance of using experiments in therapy sessions and how to work with couples and groups. Finally, the course covers the strategies used by the prominent Gestalt therapist for treating patients, such as the “Empty Chair Technique” or “Repetition and exaggeration” Mindfulness” approach, etc.
