believe that this discomfort can be transformed. People rarely take action unless they sense that something can change.
In this sense, an open and committed attitude makes all the difference. It doesn’t matter how effective the technique is or how reputable the therapist: without inner availability, little can truly blossom.
Attitude as the engine of change
In therapeutic practice, it’s observed that those who benefit the most from the process are people who approach it with a pragmatic attitude.
For example, if you realize that keeping quiet about what you feel causes distress, and you begin to express it, you’re likely to have a new life experience that transforms your way of being in the world. And that transformation, when it comes, motivates you to continue.
This kind of attitude not only strengthens the process, but can make it shorter and more effective. Because change doesn’t only happen through reflection —it takes root in action.
The foundation of the Gestalt approach
Gestalt Therapy offers a space based on two pillars: support and challenge. This balance is not about forcing, but about facilitating awareness and personal responsibility.
Fritz Perls spoke of frustrating the neurotic part and supporting the healthy one. Laura Perls, however, refined that view, preferring to speak of “support and challenge.” This softer and more respectful approach is the one that inspires our work.
When someone accepts a challenge, even with doubt or discomfort, they open up to a transformative experience. When they cling to their habitual way of functioning, the process may take more time or more loving presence.
In both cases, the space is always free of judgment.
A process tailored to you
One of the great strengths of Gestalt Therapy is that it adapts to your rhythm and needs. There are no universal formulas.
The client is free to be who they are, to experience what they experience, and to decide how they want to relate to their life.
When the time comes to take a step
If you’ve read this far, you may already be noticing something inside you that asks for attention.
And if you feel ready to take yourself seriously, Gestalt Therapy can help you start that journey with respect, clarity, and commitment to yourself.What matters most is to believe that this discomfort can be transformed. People rarely take action unless they sense that something can change.
