It is important for the therapist to simultaneously maintain the ability to be affected by the client's process and remain in their own balance. Attentive and careful attitude towards oneself helps this.
Gestalt therapist training program in online format
At the end of the program, participants who have completed the entire course and successfully passed the certification exam are issued a certificate of completion in accordance with the EAGT requirements
Since the beginning of the war a huge number of people have left Russia. According to various sources, including people who returned, more than a million people left the country. Among them, some of the students of the Metamorphosis of Psychotherapy and some of the teachers. The students understandably had to interrupt their full-time studies. Therefore, we organized training in an online format. Although it is certainly not the preferred format for psychotherapy training, it is (thanks to the covid times that trained us in this sense) quite workable. The online group for people who have had to interrupt their Gestalt therapy training and would like to continue it will begin with a review of the topics covered in the first year of training. And we will try to make sure that people who interrupted their training at different stages do not miss anything and do not get bored.
The program was created by the Metamorphosis Association in accordance with the EAGT standards, is focused on the code of ethics and the list of competencies of the Gestalt therapist, combines the educational principles of teaching the Gestalt approach through experience and in-depth theoretical, methodological and practical training of students.
