Why So Many Experiential Therapies? | Experiential Therapy Series - Part 3 of 7

[@SonamHoani]

Thank you Dr. Tori! I love this series. As a non-dual meditation teacher I am very excited by Experiential Therapy!

Hi Dr. Tori. I'm enjoying so much your series. Your integration of all these aproaches is amazing. I've been using AEDP and Coherence Therapy techniques for 4 months now and the results are huge.

Yay!! Finally, someone explains how experiential therapy came to be. Ty Dr. Tori

Hi Tori, Lovely video. Thank you for the clear descriptions - illuminating. I did also wonder whether gestalt therapy, developed by Fritz and Laura Perls, might have deserved more of a nod than you gave it. It seems to me that gestalt therapy was the first major experiential therapy and was the root of or closely related to a number of the approaches you discussed - in particular, Ron Kurtz, who developed the Hakomi method, first trained in gestalt therapy, and the Hakomi method (and sensorimotor therapy) appear to me to be more technique and individualistically focused versions of gestalt therapy.

I was wondering the same. I was leaning towards gestalt as my guiding theory as a therapist due to its experiential nature and focus on awareness. I do believe that many of these newer therapies took a lot from gestalt and existentialism. That is interesting about Hakomi and Sensorimotor therapy. I will have to look more into those trainings. Thank you.

Great video! I vaguely recall a professor telling us that Fritz Perls is a significant figure in the development of experiential psychotherapy, as well.

Thanks a lot!!

Thank you for the wonderful content and the way you present all this information! Extremely nice, clear, understandable and elegant! Lovely presence and diction too. I wonder if you have come across any information that IFS originated from the psychosynthesis of Roberto Assagioli? They are very similar, but I've never seen such a correlation mentioned anywhere. maybe I am mistaken or Richard Schwartz did not consider the Psychosynthesis model at all. Thank you again! 🙏

I’m genuinely curious to hear how you see Perls’ Gestalt therapy fitting into this ecosystem. I always saw him (along with Gendlin) as the primary progenitor of experiential therapy

[@fitmom0609]

Thank you so much for these videos! I love this series and I'm exploring experiential therapies now in my internship. I'm currently studying ACT. Would you say that ACT is more of an experiential therapy under the CBT camp? Also, where would you fit in Gestalt therapy? Do you feel that any of these current therapies were influenced by Gestalt?

Hi Tory... I was wondering if have any videos about determinism and free will. Our teacher asked use to talk about it, but I don't know what it is. Thank you

Hey, I'm sorry to say but i need to correct you in respect to Junguian Psychology. It did not come from Freud. They were both colegues who exchenged ideas in the same time in history. Jung had already a lot of work done when he met Freud.
