Perceptions of the world we live in - Different realities in the same moment
Each person experiences the world through a unique lens shaped by their history, culture, relationship, and nervous system. Our perceptions are not neutral but influenced by past experience and survival adaptions that once helped us cope. These patterns can continue into adulthood, shaping how we interpret situations and relate to others. Gestalt therapy encourages awareness of how we make meaning in the present moment, offering greater choice, flexibility and compassion towards ourselves and others.
