In Gestalt Therapy/Existential Therapy, we practice the Art of Contact.
Communication is from heart-to-heart and from moment to moment.
Everyone can work to be conscious. As soon as you know and accept your fears, vulnerabilities, blockages and needs, you have a broader field of action you can tap. The relationship between inner and outer reality is central to our work. Your feelings are your internal reality. The world around is your external reality. The meeting of the two realities provokes certain reactions that are often not conscious yet. These will be the material for the experience in our work.
What consequences do they have on your body, your mind, your soul?
During the sessions, different feelings will emerge that will become aware, concrete.
Therapy is an apprenticeship. As a Tibetan Lama once said, therapy is a School of Consciousness:
Being aware of our needs, our wounds, our strengths, and weaknesses, our emotions, feelings and desires, our need for meaning,
Why should we do this?
To live a life that suits us. All too often, we have the feeling that we are living a life that is imposed on us, that we have no choice.
Therapy means experimenting in a caring environment where you feel safe:
buried or unburied fear,
courage,
responsibility,
love and friendship,
justice or, sometimes, a feeling of injustice, anger, cheerfulness, etc.
Experiencing the self-compassion, trust and ability to set limits that are essential to freedom.
FEEDBACKS
“Oliver helped me to come into honest and lively contact with my needs and myself and thus to live an honest and authentic contact with my environment (private and professional).”
“Olivier adapts, makes suggestions and puts his finger and words on the things I dare to glimpse.
It’s a caring approach, adapted to my needs. Needs that I see more and more clearly, that I understand more and more clearly, that I respect more and more.
I observe, I respect, I let go. And the energy of life takes its place. I breathe, I feel, I follow.”
“I started therapy wit Olivier at a point in my life when I could not see a way out of my situation. Panic attacks and lack of enthusiasm were the daily bread. I used to talk about “the past” as the time when I was healthy and in peace with myself. Olivier helped me establish a relationship with my body and listen to my needs. Thanks to him, I have rebuilt contact with myself.”
