Understanding Gestalt Therapy for Mental Health and Addiction
Gestalt therapy is an experiential form of psychotherapy that focuses on your present experiences to promote personal growth and emotional awareness. This approach integrates the mind and body, helping individuals resolve past traumas, develop self-awareness, and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. By doing so, Gestalt therapy empowers you to change destructive behaviors and cultivate healthier relationships.
In the context of addiction and mental health treatment, Gestalt therapy helps uncover the underlying emotional and psychological factors driving addictive behaviors. Through this process, you can achieve deeper insight, healing, and sustainable change.
How Does Gestalt Therapy Work?
Gestalt therapy is a dynamic and interactive process. During sessions, you’ll work closely with a therapist who will guide you through various techniques designed to enhance your self-awareness and emotional understanding. These techniques help you remain present, process difficult emotions, and confront unresolved issues that may be contributing to addiction or mental health struggles.
Key techniques used in Gestalt therapy include:
- Empty Chair Technique: Engage in dialogue with an imagined person or unresolved issue to work through emotional blockages.
- Role-Playing: Act out different roles or parts of yourself to gain new perspectives on personal conflicts.
- Body Awareness: Focus on bodily sensations to better understand how emotions manifest physically.
- Dream Work: Explore the emotional significance of your dreams to uncover deeper insights.
By encouraging a holistic view of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, Gestalt therapy promotes healing on multiple levels, helping you break free from the cycle of addiction and develop healthier patterns of behavior.

Pamela
The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

It was great to begin my recovery in a group environment with so many knowledgeable nurses, therapists, BHT’s, and others around for support. The equine therapy, challenge course, family week, and daily therapies all work together seamlessly, allowing me to leave Sabino as a healthier and stronger person!
