Existential notions of authenticity underpin Gestalt principles & practices. We are not trying to change people; rather help them become more fully themselves. Recognising and owning ones own ‘style’ - healthy & shadow - is inherent to this process.
Free Course includes: 3 core readings, 20 additional readings, 2 related books, 1 audio file, 50 item quiz, 4 assignments, Completion certificate for 10 CPE points.
