It’s always so heartbreaking when people come to heal or with good intentions to help others and end up being harmed like this.
But I do want to say for anyone reading, not all Gestalt schools are like this! I did 2 years at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto and had a fantastic experience.
I’ve since recommended the school to many people and have known many people to do the training there and also have fantastic experiences.
Also many of the most grounded, heart centred, mature, self-aware, and brilliant people I’ve met have been Gestalt therapists. It’s a remarkable modality in the right hands.
The time I’ve spent training in Gestalt and seeing Gestalt therapists as a client has been incredibly valuable to me.
I’m clearly a huge fan of the modality but it really depends on the therapist so much!
