18.01.2022 Here is some Science behind the psychotherapy process of reprogramming our brain for health and wellbeing emotionally and physically! We subconsciously configure our lives to confirm our core "truths" about ourselves... For example, if I have a core belief that "I am not worthy of love" I will surround myself with people who don't love me and push away the ones who do, keeping homeostasis between my subconscious and my conscious self. Awareness of these subconscious messages... allows us to create a different outcome. This is but one aspect of Gestalt psychotherapy, assisting the client to find these hidden programs that interfere with their wellbeing. This video is worthy of 50 minutes of your time! From 0-6 years old we are programmed, and we can reprogram ourselves with practice and awareness. Even if you only have time to watch this in ten minute increments... I recommend it ALL! See more

17.01.2022 Beautifully helpful.

16.01.2022 I was reading some research on emotional intelligence... seems it can be a determining factor in success. Most schools spend little time focusing on our kids EQ. This video just touches on what emotional intelligence is and how to tap into it.

16.01.2022 Beautiful quote Mr. Jung! Thanks for posting it Alexandra Herzog!

16.01.2022 This is a beautiful example of Gestalt principles of embracing all parts of self that lead to fuller experience and connection! When we look at and accept the unloved parts of ourselves it helps others to accept us too. He and his whole family could spend all their time fighting about how things "should" be, but instead they embracing what they are with love and are having a good time with it..... Erase shame! Yay! So now maybe think about what is unloveable about yourself and if it can be accepted and embraced....Hmmmmm......

14.01.2022 What powerful messages this man is sending his daughter.... Not everyone gets the parenting they deserve. We can treat ourselves with this same love and kindness as adults. Find the messages you want to send to yourself. Look into the mirror with clear intentions and deliver the parenting you so deserve! Remind yourself of the beauty of YOU every day!

10.01.2022 Important research on how childhood trauma manifests in Adults as medical problems. Looking back can sometimes help you move forward.

10.01.2022 We all take an active role in what is happening around us. Outside of our awareness we set the stage for most of our own drama, dissatisfaction or JOY! A good key to what happens for you individually, is to listen to yourself.... what are my biggest complaints about my life... you know the ones that we repeat over and over... usually to anyone who will listen, ha ha! Then try to unravel, piece by piece what is at the very core or the beginning of this pattern. It's a journey. A good therapist helps you look for clues, we find the puzzle pieces to piece together the bigger picture.

07.01.2022 A fun way to gain insight into ourselves. Art Therapy... Come and join in the adventure. Tuesday Nights 6:30-8:30pm Oct 27-Dec 1, 2015.

06.01.2022 YOU WERE RIGHT!!! Yes you are! How solid does that feel! We all like confirmation of our own truths. Our truth is something we know, right down at our very core, but why don't THEY see it! Something that most of us have a hard time digesting is that THEY could be right at the same time; it's called Field Theory. This is a theory that was developed by Kurt Lewin a Gestalt psychologist, in the 1940's. It was taught to me with the story of a BIG rock in a field. The farmer sees... this rock as a burden, he thinks of how he has to remove it, to plant his crops in the field. The soldier looks at this rock with relief, he will use it to strategically cross the field safely and it becomes his halfway point to hide. The farmer's son uses the mighty rock as a play structure, he spends hours climbing to the top and jumping off, defending it from imaginary pirates. To him the rock is the most fun place to play. Years later, they all meet up in a pub and the conversation drifts onto the rock in the field....Yeah, that rock was such a pain! NO it wasn't, it was such a relief to have it there! You guys have it all wrong... It was so much fun!! How could the other be so wrong!! Defending our truths can end marriages, estrange children, alienate colleagues and destroy friendships. Each party is certain of their own reality. We take such a strong stance and defend our truths because we engage from the standpoint of a singular truth. If there is only one truth...Well, Are you calling me a liar? Do you think I'm crazy? It is an insult to ones integrity or at the very least it makes me WRONG. Awareness of the reality, that truth is relative to our own perspective, allows us to look for the truth of the other people in our lives. It would be unrealistic to think that this awareness would eliminate all fighting, but it helps to take a bit of the energy out of things. Just the knowledge that if they are RIGHT I can be too. We can be completely right at the same time as another who has a different account of the same event, just as the farmer, the soldier and the child.

05.01.2022 One of the key aspects in conflict resolution is for each of the parties to feel their position is heard and understood, in order to move forward towards an agreement. A therapist facilitates the process by helping the parties to accomplish this when emotions become too overwhelming. During disagreements with friends, family or even our children, it can be helpful to keep that key factor in mind to avoid simple disagreements escalating into major conflicts. If we can listen and reflect back our understanding of the others position.... We are halfway to an agreement.

04.01.2022 For those of us who struggle to meditate and push too hard to be in the moment. I love his term "monkey mind" to describe all the inner chatter that goes on within the human process!
