International webinar recordings (English-Italian)
Twelve well-known Gestalt psychotherapists talk about their experiences of the pandemic. They suggest different aspects of Gestalt therapy to focus on that might help discover ways for this unprecedented event to be an opportunity for growth. They describe ways to discover new tools as psychotherapists during this time of global trauma.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am pleased to write a thought to accompany you this Easter, a passage (from its etymology) this year painful and distressing but also full of new possibilities.
The background of my experience as I write to you is full of the things I have heard from colleagues at the Institute in our online meetings, from students who have never stopped meeting and studying in the virtual classes we have created for them, from colleagues working in health care, from you, dear foreign colleagues, from children.
I’m proud to be Italian, never like in this moment.
Not only images of hospitals and numbers of infected people in our media, but also the rainbow of children who tell us that “everything will be fine” and “together we will make it”.
To conclude the course of Psychopathology organized by Finnish Gestalt Therapy Association, was the director of the Institute of Gestalt HCC Italy Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb on dates 6-7-8 December 2018. We report the impressions by Mrgherita Spagnuolo Lobb about the experience conducted: “The last seminar of the program on psychopathology in Helsinki. An experience of meeting each other with our deep humanity, sharing painful experiences, professional challenges and the joy of being together. Have a good life all!” – Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb
