My T is gestalt based, and T suggested earlier on in therapy that we do some empty chair work and I totally FREAKED. I mean - full blown panic attack, never wanted to go back to therapy FREAKED.....So....we never addressed that method again....and even now, 2 years later, I have no interest in doing empty chair work - even though I'm sure it has the potential to have extraordinary benefits to it....I just can't seem to get over the fear....We have done a teeny bit of role playing, but that's about it.
