“I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.” — John O’Donohue 🌿

Gestalt therapy invites us into this same flow — to awaken to our own unfolding process, to meet each moment with curiosity and presence, and to surprise ourselves with our own newness.

Sometimes the ache to change the world is the same ache to become ourselves. 💫

“Your holiest pains come from your yearning to change yourself in the exact way you’d like the world around you to change.” — Rob Brezsny

Hello! I am sharing some of my writing on Medium if you'd like to take a look:

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people look for therapy — but what it means can be very different for each person. The label…

Sometimes we can become fixed in only being one way: I let everything in without discerning what I want or don’t want. Or, I keep everything out, no matter what. We learn these ways for a good reason. Often it’s what’s kept us alive (belonging and connection are matters of survival). There is another way: to experience myself as both porous AND discerning allows me to have my whole range, allows me to be available to receive AND respond.

“We seek the other to find ourselves.

In every moment of contacting, we are pushing against the objective information from the word, and the world pushes back.

Whatever you’re feeling right now is part of this situation.

Sometimes it takes a moment to allow yourself to be.”

Ruella Frank, lecture May 2025

In relational Gestalt therapy, we explore the idea that we need each other to find ourselves.

If this seems sightly intangible right now, consider yourself in your chair.

You meet your chair with your back/bottom/backs of thighs, and your chair meets you.

You are pushing against (resting on) your chair, and at the same time, your chair is already and aways pushing back.

You find your chair there supporting you, so that you can release yourself to the chair, as much or as little as is possible right now.

In personal relationships - including in therapy - we are asking without asking, “How much can I be myself with you? Will you still be there if I show you who I truly am?”

“Somatic” work is the study of process.

We are seeking the process of what’s happening within the content of what a person is sharing.

We move from WHAT (content) to HOW (process) and back to WHAT by investigating the bodily knowing that shaped the WHAT.
- Ruella Frank

WHAT you are sharing is the content of your story.

The WHAT includes:
🧠 details
🧠 ideas
🧠 beliefs
🧠 values

HOW you are sharing it points to how you’ve learned this story about yourself.

The HOW includes:
🌱 gestures
🌱 facial expressions
🌱 sensations
🌱 movements - big and small

The HOW is often out of our awareness. When we bring the HOW into awareness we can learn more about:
✨ how you say yes when you mean no
✨ what you really think about something or someone
✨ how convinced you are about why you are the way you are, how the world works, etc.
