Gestalt Institute of Toronto - One-year Training Program for Professionals
20 Friday mornings between October 4, 2019 and May 29, 2020, seven weekends and Residential June 2-7, 2020.
For professionals seeking to deepen their experience of personal work within a training community, this is a year of didactic and experiential exploration of Gestalt therapy’s aesthetic, relational and embodied approach. The format is identical to Year One of our intensive training program, except that the weekly meetings are daytime sessions held on Friday mornings and the course is enhanced to include the supervision needs and professional sharing of participants.
Gestalt therapy has been called a “right brain-left brain” approach in that practitioners are trained to move fluidly between their embodied knowing and their cognitive skills, resulting in creative interventions that are never the same in any two meetings. This keeps the therapist alive and constantly changing to meet the client. Practitioners from other disciplines can learn to bring these “Gestalt moments” into their work, leading to greater rejuvenation inside clinical practice.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion of the One Year Training for Professionals Program which represents 180 continuing education hours. Successful completion of the One Year Program is considered equivalent to Year One of the Five Year Training Program. Therefore graduates of this program are eligible to apply to Year Two of the CRPO recognized Five Year Training Program.
