Again, another helpful and insightful video. I can see how Empty Chair Technique can give Instant results. Asking client to reflect on what happened and ensured she was grounded. Thank you.

This video is a good demonstration of the two chair technique which is effective for exploring internal conflict. Also demonstrated was the therapist's bringing the client's awareness to her physical realm-pointing out her posture and hand positions. The using of her hands were key in her experience. If she were only aware of her verbal exchange the technique would not have been as effective. Another angle that could've been explored is the choose of words that the client used as the different parts of herself.

Wish you would make more of these videos again too! This is very good informative quality.

Hi Dr Grande . Is this technique contraindicated with someone with disassociative symptoms.

Opening the session by asking "How are you doing?" is a tacit invitation for the client to reply "Fine, thank you". This doesn't progress therapy in any way and encourages the client to be glib and incongruent from the start. A more Gestalt/Experiential phrase would be "Where are you at, right now?" or "I wonder what you are experiencing right now?" I'm sorry, this clip really feels like the therapist is trained in another modality and is trying to 'do gestalt' after reading a book.

[@thornphillips5792]

Is this evidenced by research or just a generalized opinion? In my opinion asking a client how they are doing can be just as effective as where are you at right now or what are you experiencing right now. If a client responds with fine thank you, it opens the door to explore what is good, why are they fine. It can help the client see that there are positives in their life and if things really are not fine then this same exploration will bring this to light. On the other hand asking a client where are you at right now can be confusing to some clients they may respond by looking at you like you are crazy and saying I'm here in your office or some sarcastic type of response. Which also can help lead to exploring what is currently going on in the clients life. So really what you ask and how you open is more about the counselor being genuine not just repeating some phrase or question that they have heard or read is a better opener than others.

[@dirkschultze5940]

I see it the same way. Plus, he introduces his agenda, and thankfully he has a diligent client who does not even have to offer what her concern is currently. I refuse to watch on because it presents a distorted view of gestalt.

[@crose7412]

@Austen Miall Outside the counselling room "fine, thank you" might be the usual response, however, within the counselling room a more honest appraisal is usually given.

[@crazypianistshe]

So this is not a real person, just acting out, like a scenario- what she should do with her hands, say???

[@crose7412]

@crazypianistshe There are no shoulds; whatever she feels like.

[@chinami6534]

In gestalt therapists often vocalize the clients body language because it strengthens client's self awareness.🙂
