How to Coach Yourself and Others Techniques For Coaching | Página 402

Variations of the "empty chair" developed over the years. The client
might participate in this technique without the "prop" of an actual
empty chair. Importantly, the technique today always includes
attention to the relational dynamic between the client and the
psychotherapist.
How does it help the client?
This technique often brings clients into present or immediate
experiences. Abstractions or verbalizations become enlivened
moments. Clients may be able to experience different aspects of their
own conflicts in a new manner through empty-chair dialogue. Gestalt
therapy is more than a collection of techniques, despite the notoriety of
the empty chair. This technique is one of the many interventions within
gestalt therapy, all with the common purpose of facilitating discovery
and psychotherapeutic insight. Its emphasis on personal responsibility,
interpersonal contact and increased clarity of awareness of what is,
could be of great value in meeting the problems of the present.
