Gestalt therapy, an Existential Therapy for Reconnection to Life, to Your Life
Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt Therapy, said:
“Gestalt is too effective a method to be reserved only for the sick! ".
This is why, beyond its therapeutic aspect, Gestalt Therapy is often considered as an art of living, even a philosophy where the meaning of life resides in the here and now.
As a Gestalt therapist, I accompany everyone through these challenges, helping them to better understand their experiences and find creative and satisfying solutions to live fully.
Gestalt therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore, make meaning and
improve your life.
What meaning do we give to life? What meaning should I give to my life?
I have a feeling of being too full or I have a feeling of emptiness.
I didn't feel loved, I didn't feel seen,
I didn't feel alive.
I feel overwhelmed by life, I want to find the sweetness of life again.
I help you reconnect with the desire to exist.
My Approach to Gestalt Therapy as Existential Therapy
The quality of the support I offer is closely linked to my own injuries. Having myself gone through ordeals similar to those you are experiencing or have experienced, I am able to understand and deeply feel your experience.
This authentic connection helps create a space where you truly feel connected, free and safe.
My approach to existential therapy is rooted in a deep understanding of your personal experiences. Together, we will explore paths that will allow you to discover hidden aspects of your Being, to reveal and strengthen your presence and to experience more authentic and living relationships.
The Particularities of the Support
To Self-Rediscovery: Through our journey together, you will have access to sensations and aspects of yourself that you may not have known before. An essential part of my approach consists of making you fully experience the relationship with others, with yourself and with the world. You will become aware that you exist and feel alive.
Visual Connection and Touch : Eye contact plays a crucial role in this therapy. It allows you to create an authentic and secure human connection. Additionally, touch (without massage) activates neural levels important for the sensation of existing.
The Body an indispensable asset: Gestalt is the How, it is not the why. It is an approach which also calls on your feelings by being attentive to the process which is experienced in your body and allows you to escape from the mind .
A Qui s'adresse la Gestalt-Thérapie ?
Gestalt therapy is beneficial for a wide range of people, particularly those seeking to understand and navigate identity and existential crises :
Who am I ? - What am I useful for ? - What's the point of living?
The ego is constructed from our experiences, beliefs and thoughts throughout our lives, creating a self-image that may not reflect reality. This dissonance can trigger an existential crisis, where we ask ourselves “Who am I really?”
Conflicts over identity generate similar doubts about our actions. Even without an identity crisis, you may ask yourself "What am I doing with my life?", revealing dissatisfaction, a lack of clear goals or a need for meaning. This resignation to an unsatisfying life reflects a deep need for change.
Existential boredom: occurs when we become aware of our existence in opposition to the world. Experiencing the same, gray days can lead to wondering, “What am I doing here?” Understanding and overcoming this boredom is essential to finding meaning and passion in daily life.
The Existential Crisis Phases: 30 years - 40 years - 50 years..
Between 25 and 35 years old: this identity crisis is marked by the need to stand out and find your own way. There is often a discrepancy between self-image and reality, accompanied by an experience of maturity.
Between 35 and 45 years old: this crisis is characterized by doubts about how to enjoy one's life as youth moves away. Questions about personal fulfillment and professional satisfaction become predominant.
From the age of 50: there is an increased awareness of the passage of time, accompanied by a feeling of loss of usefulness at work and thoughts about death and the end of life. This beginning of phase can be marked by a deep introspection on the meaning and value of one's existence.
Existential Crises: Professional and Couple
Professional Existential Crisis: This crisis occurs when one questions the meaning and value of one's work, often triggered by dissatisfaction, stagnation or conflicts of values with the company. It encourages you to question the alignment between your work and your deep aspirations, which can lead to career changes, a professional reorientation or a renewal of commitment.
Couple's Existential Crisis: This crisis manifests itself through questions about the nature and future of the relationship, often triggered by life changes, disagreements or growing dissatisfaction. Couples ask themselves, “Is this relationship still right for me?” or “Are we meant to be together?” Addressing these questions honestly can deepen understanding of each other's needs, strengthening the relationship or allowing for a respectful separation if necessary.
