New Gestalt Voices Radio attempts to bridge the gestalt world and wider society. Despite our name, we're not doing anything new at all, as Perls, Hefferline and Goodman already wanted to 'develop a theory and method that will extend the limits and applicability of psychotherapy'. We invite people and topics that go beyond the gestalt community. We look at what's happening in our world with a gestalt view, hoping to see other stuff than what gestalt already offers and hoping to offer gestalt where others might need it. A little bit shambolic, but always emergent. Enjoy! Thomas and John

NGV Radio S2E7 - Polarization on both sides of the Globe

In this week's broadcast, we meet with Lena Grigoreva and Elena Lasaja, two prominent gestalt therapists from Belarus, where chaos and divide have dominated communal life since August 9th 2020 and has polarized not only the political debate, but also everyday life, families, friendships, and personal experiences.

We will be exploring with them how they deal with that polarisation on different levels, how to support and lack support, and what they have learned from these recent experiences?
What can we bring from gestalt theory and practice to aid our understanding and provide support to those affected? How is the situation in Belarus relevant - and related - to events happening throughout the world?

We also bring in another experience of polarization to this chat, by listening to a poem from Ron Jesiolowski, an American painter who wrote and painted about the US polarization revolving the 2020 elections.

Similar or different? That's what we're curious about.

Enjoy,

Thomas and John
