Purchase options and add-ons

Out of the body of existential teachings of Gestalt Therapy, emerged a number of practices we were invited to do as students of the Gestalt founders back in the 1960s. What are you aware of right now; give your headache a voice and have it talk to you; slow down and breathe; be more present when we connect; stop qualifying; be more specific; lose your mind & come to your senses; say that louder; tell me your truth in this moment. This book delineates a number of these principles and practices, offering some experiments for you to do. If you are able to do most of these without getting stuck you are in danger of becoming more aware, more alive, more contactful, more creative, and maybe more enlightened as well!

    Viele Schlagworte wie aus der Werbung. Es ist schön wie groß der Bekanntenkreis der Autorin ist und es ist auch nett, dass alle so gut passend sind. Das kleine Büchlein sollte wichtige Punkte zum Thema herausarbeiten und dazu weitergehendes Material liefern. Das fehlt mir.
    Die buddhistische Literatur bietet auf dem Weg der Selbsterkenntnis weit wertvollere Ratschläge.

    5.0 out of 5 stars very insightful and practical

    Very insightful book with practical experiments to integrate the learning.

    I don't like the wide format of the book. It's awkward to hold, and the cover page gets all warped up.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book; very practical, very real, easy to apply day to day. For counsellors and non-counsellors alike
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2017

    To give an overview, this is a book of practical exercises and experiments distilled from counselling theory. Nothing ridiculous or 'out there' - mostly things you can do in your head or alone. It's a good book whether or not you're a counsellor and everything is usable.

    Exercise are organised in themes; for example "Get out of your head" "Authenticity" "Awareness". There is a short introduction to the theme and then the various exercises which target different parts of the theme. Where relevant it is explained how the exercise was developed or why; what the inventors were searching for when they created it or on whose theory the exercise was based. This really helps with appreciating what the exercise is for.

    Sheldon was around when a lot of people were developing helping theories and openly discusses how others have had influence; such names include Gendlin and Lowen; most counsellors will recognise these immediately.

    Everything in the book is practical; it's been tried and tested over many years. The introductions aren't a deep dive into philosophies or conjectures; it's straightforward observation (like a naturalist observes) of how people get stuck in a rut and how to get out of it.

    This is a really useful book; I would recommend.

    Easy to read. Interesting. Some exercises are a little vague. I’m about 1/3 of the way through the book. I’m not unsatisfied.
