Ah ok. I know there was a previous poster whose T was very confrontational, and her T would say she does Gestalt therapy, and that’s how it works, or something like that (this was a couple years ago and is the only poster mentioning Gestalt, so only impression I had. Could be her T was using that as excuse or was more old school though).
