Like any talk therapy, gestalt therapy may bring up hard topics that could be challenging for you to talk through or remember. Working with a trusted therapist and setting boundaries can help.
In addition, gestalt therapy requires a very close therapist-client relationship, and it can take a lot of time to reach a point of closeness and comfort.
This type of therapy also isn’t as common as other types, so it may be harder to find a gestalt therapist near you.
