An introduction to Gestalt Therapy - with Karen F Burke

[@alllowercase6277]

"swallow whole," he takes a mouthful of tea. definitely, in the here and NOW.

[@drozankowski]

This video did what my textbook could not!!! Explain what it truly is! Thank you very much. 🙏🏼

[@annekennedy2142]

Thank you for a clear introduction to Gestalt

[@TheGestaltTherapy]

Thank you Rory it was a pleasure filming with you as always Karen

[@Counsellingtutor1]

Thanks Karen, I always enjoy our time together and I always learn something from you !

[@maryhoran406]

Thank you both for generously sharing your interpretation of Gestalt. Karen, thanks for suggestion of AND as an ajoiner.

[@jamespalmer2689]

Rory there are no videos I've seen with you that do not draw me in. You seem like a wonderful man and I learn a great deal from your time spent doing these vlogs so thank you and enjoy your good work as I'm sure so many of us do. May you continue for a very long time. I am studying Gestalt albeit a short two day course. I wanted to get ahead and this video was a very firm beginning of my learning. Karen you presented it so well and I loved the humour, but... Only kidding.... and I look forward to following more of your stuff.

[@creepycrawlything]

Lovely lady. I'm finding as a tenderfoot counselling student, that while theories of counselling and therapy can routinely engender resistance and critique, exposure to a living person who might embody particular theories is something very different. Its not that someone so embodying necessarily justifies or validates the embodied theory, but rather that there is something very valuable in a person who is a balanced and authentic whole. I shall remember the "no buts in this house" admonition.

[@jopoole6848]

I was turned off Gestalt by what I had read and heard about PERLS, however, I seem to naturally work in a Gestalt fashion a lot of the time. I am still in training, so am adapting and changing as I learn. Thank you for this input, it has been interesting to listen to a contemporary view of Gestalt

[@clairearchibald3340]

Thanks Rory and Karen for this introduction. I am a level 3 counselling skills student getting my head around Fritz Perls and Gestalt so this was very helpful

[@hildahmokgolodi6876]

It was a great demonstration of the Gestalt Therapy, I liked the way Karen used the "However" throughout. I will be waiting for more of this from you guys.

[@xavierbechard1177]

Thanks for the outline on gestalt therapy. It's true that readings on gestalt therapy can be very difficult at times... such as "Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality (1951)

[@alijacobs2001]

Really helpful introduction, I have a class at college on Gestalt this eve and this has given me a clear basic understanding.

[@amystansfield8763]

this video helped me to understand so much more about gestalt than our college lecture did. great stuff

[@katejeri747]

Very interesting and makes me understand this therapy more. Looking forward to more insights. Thank you!

[@louiseknight1382]

A very nice explanation of key points - thank you.

[@richmondself8241]

Thank you, this is a marvellous interview, helpful in providing a comprehensive overview of this challenging modality, and thank you for the time in putting this video together. Richmond

[@juliefranklin-baker4597]

Brilliant loved the phrase 'swallowing down' great metaphor.

[@susiebates747]

I have been finding the reading around gesalt quite challenging..so really helpful to watch this clear and easy to understand interview.Thankyou

[@misstuesy]

Karen is awesome! I'd love to listen to more videos of her speaking. Both of you were a delight to watch, thanks ;)

[@traceyoneill8627]

Thanks for this. I am a counselling student and couldn't get to grips with Gestalt. . This has helped

[@BigFamilyFun]

Super helpful to gain an understanding of the theories for class !!! Thanks

[@steveymoon]

This was great... so did you guys ever get to do a part 2?

[@laurentrowland6439]

Thank you, so very interesting for this guy starting out as a therapist 👍🏽

[@Kafabi]

Whenever I listen about Gestalt.... there are some parts in it that I really like and then I feel some good tingles underneath my skin :)

[@magdachrzastek2340]

Such a pleasurable learning through your chat.

[@salomeworch8201]

Yay! Thanks, Rory. Keep 'em coming. A pleasure to watch, very informative.

[@ushadabycharun6153]

I like your videos, simple to understand for either beginners or otherwise. Also, a nice introduction to Gestalt. I am person-centred and wanted to know more about this approach.

[@tanya7835]

This was really interesting and informative. Thank you very much. Does Karen have any contemporary books that she's recommend on Gesalt Therapy? It reminds me of Irvin Yalom's existential approach.

[@YourGirlSudanny]

I found this video soo insightful, so useful. Karen explains it in a way that is so easy to understand and relate to. Thank you.

[@SleepFairyParentRescue]

I've just been reading and reading about Gestalt and this has given me so much clarity, thank you both!

[@elainegray1241]

This was really insightful! Thanks for doing this 😊

[@gillianatkinson6126]

Very insightful! Love to hear more of you. Thank you to both of you.

[@stefzandell3835]

Thank you for this video! I am in my Master's program, and way back at the beginning of my Bachelor's, I fell in love with Gestalt. I hadn't gone back to study it yet, and with this video it reminded me of why I love it. I like combining it with CBT and Reality Theory or RET... your thoughts, as I begin my career in counseling. :) I'm an existentialist/humanist.

[@UPCOWEBINARS]

Thanks Rory and Karen, enjoyable and I learned things :)

[@rebeccahanson9243]

Very helpful. Thank you Rory and Karen :)

[@Tara-sh4ve]

Thank you for the video. It has helped me a great deal in understanding Gestalt and the theory behind it. X

[@odettethornton5898]

Very enjoyable informative video, it has helped with my Counselling diploma studies. Thank you!

[@Tina12121]

Brilliant, thankyou, great for C.P.D during my summer holidays 2019 🤗

[@angelablack6371]

Exam should go well after this, thank you

[@xavierayayaell546]

How did it go?

[@Angell_Lee]

Thank you both! Also love her star top, very pretty :)

[@neilylad37]

I loved the video Rory, thanks for making it. Karen was brilliant and very inspiring.I really connected with you guys. I find this work amazing. Its incredibly effective and opens us up to the deeper spiritual connection to life and our authenticity. I look forward to checking your other stuff. By the way thanks for the great explanation about Genograms.

[@susantompkins4254]

Thank you this is really interesting

[@arabiccompprograming5161]

Do you know of any useful brain exercises for the PreFrontal Lobe.

[@mikedonovan4768]

Good video, but one tiny criticism. The video is only really good for people who already have an awareness of Gestalt and needs the therapy expanding further. I had to watch an introductory video on another channel, before getting any insight from this one. I feel this video is not really an "introduction", but more of a "further explanation". Great channel by the way 🙂👍

[@toniaaitken2793]

Thank you, have a much better idea of it’s about now.

[@roberthigham7499]

so how you deal with a situation,depends on where you are at the present-does that sound right

[@joshdang7084]

Really useful video, thank you.

[@jennielee7003]

Thank you ....I loved this.... Returning to Counselling after a long break and this was a wonderful refresher ...

[@abigailhoughton5956]

Is there a reference that could be used for this interview in an essay please?

[@Counsellingtutor1]

Yes, google Harvard referencing a KZbin video.

[@ruthshedlow9015]

A fantastic introductory insight into Geslalt. thank you.

[@georginajovanovic]

Do you talk to people with a gp referral or are you just a teacher?

[@jonmacias499]

Very informative! I loved it

[@nghariad1]

Really helpful. Thank you.

[@Bdeezy1953]

Thanks sooo much!

[@sanathanimis6063]

she said ; the sum of the parts is greater than the whole.... how can she make this crucial mistake?

[@michaelrauls2029]

Isn't it, "The Whole is greater than the sum of the parts?"

[@QMN8125]

Greater is not an accurate description as this is an value judgement and goes against the phenomenalogical method.

[@FS-mc3cs]

No... "It is: The whole is DIFFERENT to the sum of its parts..."

[@FS-mc3cs]

GEEEE - shallll-T????

[@Andrewjohnstone1990]

Did anybody else have to Google dichotomy 😂

[@Counsellingtutor1]

I am glad I helped expand your vocabulary :)
