In the early twentieth century in Germany was founded in the direction of psychology, which was called "Gestalt".His scientific theory Gestaltists built on the fact that the perception of the world based on human sensory perception and imagery of objects and phenomena as an integral structure, indivisible into separate components.For example, if a person sees a familiar object with missing parts, his mind seeks to complement the subject and "to finish" these most missing parts.
In the same way, people tend to complete, supplement to its logical whole unfinished actions untried feelings unspoken until the end of emotions and thoughts.The principle was the basis for completion of the psychotherapeutic techniques of Gestalt therapy based F.Perlzom.He believed that a person is always striving to complete the unfinished Gestalt, to finish unfinished and achieve a sense of wholeness and harmony.When these or other life events and situations, as well as the feelings and emotions associated with them, come to a logical conclusion, a person brings a state of calm and confidence, I felt not only emotionally, but also on the body level.
What does it mean to complete the gestalt?That means to meet the demand, the main and the most significant moment in life, realize and felt on the physical, emotional and thought levels.In Gestalt psychology - the emergence and satisfaction of needs - is a series of education and the completion of a gestalt.Figuratively speaking, every human need - a bright figure stands out experience.When the need is met, figure out, dissolved in the surrounding background, but there is another figure, and the higher and more important need, the contours of the figure clearer and brighter.Unfinished gestalt - is interrupted cycle potrebnostno or emotionally nedovvedennaya situation to its logical conclusion.What happens and why?The reasons for this can be very different.It can be external or social factors intrapersonal prohibitions and restrictions imposed upbringing.Well, so what - tell someone.Pending action does not mean the end of life, it is going on?Yes, life goes on, but how and what?Each unmet need, especially deeply significant, leads to stress.Stress caused by incomplete one needs, creates another incompletion.So, gradually, life becomes a series of setbacks, unexpressed feelings and emotions that entails boredom and inactivity.
emotionally incomplete gestalt - a sense of frustration, grief and anger, sadness and outrage that occurred sometime in the past, relations with parents, lovers, children, spouses, and have not been expressed and made.Unfinished gestalt may also be from unrequited love, not taken action in the past, and emerged from the unconscious sense of guilt, etc.
Therapists say that unfinished gestalt makes a person keep coming back to it, to those unspoken feelings, experiences or interrupted actions, trying in some way to relive them again in a different form.Very often, parents forcing children to commit any acts and deeds, trying to complete his own last unfinished gestalt.But more often a person tries to avoid completion sometime in progress, thereby increasing its dependence on the past.It includes mechanisms for avoiding and suppressing a emerging unconscious needs and wants, once the unrealized, and this in turn leads to neuroses and psychosomatic diseases.
Gestalt therapists using different therapeutic techniques and methods to help a person to identify and realize from vague feelings of dissatisfaction and intuitive once the pending actions and emotions to go through them again, already at another level, and thus to harmonize his life.
