Hi Profile,
My therapist does a combination of a bunch of therapies, the only Gestalt therapy I know we did was "the empty chair."
What she told me to do is imagine that my inner child was sitting in the office in an empty chair. I should talk to her, make her feel safe. I have anxiety over my childhood issues, and as silly as it seemed, talking to little me and making her feel safe, helped grown me feel safer. I haven't talked to that empty chair in awhile, but I've avoided my childhood for months and last week agreed to talk about it again this week. Hope the chair is comfortable.
