Gestalt Therapy:

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy, focusing on self-awareness, personal responsibility, understanding present experience, and how people experience themselves in relationship to others. Developed by Fritz and Laura Perls and Paul Goodman, it explores how our whole experience—thoughts, feelings, body sensations, relationship patterns, the environment—creates meaning and shapes our life as they arise now. Techniques like role-playing and the empty chair exercise raise awareness, encourage confronting unresolved issues (integration and choice), and express denied emotions.
