Public Talk, Presenter: Kayla Copeland, APCC#18784 Seeing Clients in Their Wholeness: A Gestalt Approach to Presence an

About the Talk:

In this experiential workshop for psychotherapists, we will explore what it means to truly see our clients in their wholeness — beyond diagnosis, story, or symptom. Drawing from Gestalt therapy principles, we’ll deepen our capacity to meet clients in the here and now, cultivating awareness of the dynamic field that arises between therapist and client. Through guided practice, dialogue, and embodied exploration, we’ll attend to the relational space as a living organism — one that reveals both our clients’ unfinished business and their innate movement toward integration.

Together, we will examine how our own presence, perceptions, and projections shape the healing encounter, learning to recognize the subtle moments when wholeness is already present beneath fragmentation. This workshop invites a return to seeing — not as an act of analysis, but as an act of love, awareness, and mutual becoming.
