The wisdom of anger

On 26 – 27 of January the Geštalt Institut “Sinergija” held a web seminar titled “The wisdom of anger “ – Working with anger in Gestalt therapy.

The seminar was attended by the participants of the national and international group of students.

The substance discussed on this webinar was inspirational and motivational for the participants, who created an engaging work environment.

In Gestalt therapy it is believed that anger is an expression of the self.

It is a protection of one’s boundaries and it is a call for contact.

From a humanistic, relational and therapeutic position the function of anger allows for both the preserving of a sense of oneself and the reaching out to contact the environment.

Working with anger is one of the most important issues of personal work for clients.

Starting of the International Training Program in cooperation with team from Psihoterapika

We are so excited to announce the official start of the International Training Program in Gestalt Therapy (ITPGT) in cooperation with Gestalt Institute Sinergija.

This weekend from the 23rd to the 26th of February we had a wonderful opportunity to venture in this adventure of self-exploration called Gestalt therapy, tackling the topics of awareness, introspection, group work, contact and the philosophical foundations that create the basis of the theoretical background.

We spent 4 days together in Skopje combining the theoretical aspects of the knowledge with practical hands on experiential learning, sharing and co-creating together with 9 wonderful international students.

Looking forward to our next meeting in March.
