ABSTRACT

This chapter aims not to facilitate the client to feel more relaxed or comfortable in the therapy session, but to enable the client to reconnect his/her emotional response with contact needs and wants from the environment, both in the therapy session and outside. This integration of the situation external to the client and the client's emotional response in turn leads to the client taking action in the external environment to change it. The work must, therefore, involve both attention to the variety of physical sensations, impulses, and tensions that the client experiences and produces, and to the field context of the client's interactions with the environment. Gestalt therapy encourages us to explore both the expressive and the repressive energies, allowing for dialogue to develop across the splits, leading to resolution, not primarily intrapsychically, but via contact with the environment and, particularly, contact with the therapist.
