Working with Shame - a Relational Gestalt Approach
with
Linda Martin
Fritz Perls’ practice
of Gestalt Therapy was notoriously abrasive. A highly creative approach, it
worked well with robust clients, but less well with people prone to shame.
The relational school of Gestalt, developed by practitioners such as Yontef,
Jacobs and Hycner, has stressed the importance of inclusion and confirmation
and the therapeutic power of dialogue. Put simply, they emphasise the centrality
of kindness.
The workshop will consist of exercises and practice in working with clients
who are prone to shame and also will look at our own shame issues. There will
be references to theory throughout: in particular, to that of the Gestalt
relational school.
LINDA MARTIN is a BACP Accredited Counsellor and a UKCP Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist. She has been working as a trainer and supervisor for the last sixteen years.
