About the Indianapolis Gestalt Institute<\/strong><\/h5>\n

For almost 50 years, IGI has trained human service professionals and lay people in Gestalt therapy, theory, and practice.\u00a0 Our graduates have more than a technical understanding of psychological and emotional healing.\u00a0 They believe that you can never help guide a person to a place that you yourself have never been.\u00a0 Thus, our training develops therapists and lay people “from the inside – out.” \u00a0The Institute has a long tradition of helping a diverse range of professionals to integrate Gestalt therapy principles into their own unique practices and lives.<\/p>\n

IGI adopted the tag line \u201cfrom the inside-out\u201d to summarize our belief that we must do our own internal work as part of a process for being able to be fully present to others. \u00a0It is with this conviction that we built an Institution that brings people together in a community whose members believe that we attend to our own inner \u201ccleaning house\u201d while we attend to each other.\u00a0 We provide a place for personal therapy, couples work, group work, workshops and gestalt training for all involved in \u00a0helping our world to heal.<\/p>\n

We support our unique contributions to the midwest through clinical work, artistic expression and avocation, and community inmvolvement.\u00a0 We will co-ordinate community events that have a \u00a0theme of connection between all things<\/p>\n

We believe that it is truly within a relationship that can hold us safely and allow us to unfold and feel fully alive that we heal … whether that be one-on-one, in a small community or in a vibrant larger society.<\/p>\n

About Gestalt Therapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gestalt therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy , dedicated to helping people unblock barriers to being fully alive in the present. \u00a0<\/em>Gestalt therapy is a process psychotherapy of growth\u00a0with the goal of improving our contact in community and our environment. \u00a0This goal is accomplished through aware, spontaneous, and authentic dialogue between client and therapist.<\/p>\n

The overarching focus in Gestalt therapy is on raising awareness. \u00a0Emotional awareness and expression keeps \u201cunfinished business\u201d from accumulating. \u00a0Once we have learned to hide our needs from ourselves and others, and we learn this at a very early age, we begin to accrue unfinished situations that drain energy that we need for excitement and creativity in all realms of life. \u00a0The ongoing awareness of feelings in one\u2019s self and others is a prerequisite for an exciting, enjoyable, and relational life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
