The path of a student: what difficulties and doubts does every student go through and how to keep inspired and continue on this path
Once you attend 1 Gestalt therapy workshop, you can change your life dramatically, as it happened to me once in 2018, and now I am writing this letter to you to To inspire and support you on your way.
When I work with groups, I can already see the same pattern of behavior of the participants, and I can tell you exactly when a person begins to unconsciously resist going further, and every time I am very sorry if a person leaves this path a step away from important changes, from a better life.
That's why I'm writing this article to let you know that you're not alone, and sooner or later, one way or another, everyone faces similar feelings, doubts, and thoughts that can stop them.
Everything that will happen to you at the seminar and in between, the way your attitude towards the group will change - all this is the material of the work, all these are tips from your psyche on how to change already ineffective behavioral strategies, heal the wounds of the past or present, but usually participants do not know about this and, faced with minimal resistance, think that the best solution is to leave the group.
At each stage of your changes, you may experience different waves of resistance and doubts - and this is normal, there are tremendous changes in your inner world, but it is important to know that your coaches can help you with this, they are there for you, for your benefit.
Sometimes it may seem that you are not understood, that nothing helps, that there is no point in saying what is in your heart, or you may feel that you are not important to the group - it will all be a reproduction of your past traumas, which can be healed in the group. And each time you go through personal obstacles, you will discover new horizons, breadths and depths that you did not expect.
In the end, the group, the trainers at the institute can become your first experience of real deep relationships, a safe space, for some even family, parents and siblings, you will gain a strong and warm community that will become a great support and encouragement in your life.
You will strive for good and deep relationships, for seeing reality more clearly, for being yourself and not playing roles. And by changing yourself, you will change and transform the world around you and the people around you too. You will wake up from the automatic actions and routine of this life, rub your eyes.
Maybe you will want to become a Gestalt therapist too, and maybe not.
