I have seen a huge difference in the many different approaches and styles the ts use. Most person centred ts are very open and honest about their personal lives., psychodynamic ones too, cbt s not so open or friendly. All of the gestalt therapists I know and my trainers take more risks. They are creative, they use touch and share lots about themselves. I am learning a lot from them that touch is actually healing in therapy. It has a place and also gestalt therapist s have completely different boundaries
They are willing to meet with the client more as needed and see themselves as equals to clients.
