The Two Elements of Gestalt

There are two parts to Gestalt.

The first part is the Gestalt Language Protocol, which creates a safe environment and supports those engaging in experience sharing. GLP is “a safe, nonjudgmental environment created by asking clarifying questions, sharing negative and positive experiences, writing down questions and thoughts, and paraphrasing and confirming what was said — not what you thought you heard”. (Samantha Whitehorne).

The second part is a mindset. This is where the brain starts to catch up with your words. It helps people to empathize and understand others’ perspectives, think more creatively, be better listeners by not giving advice, and improve storytelling. This mindset encourages people to find their own answers. There’s a level of transparency and honesty that you give off when you think and speak from your own experience.
