This is ao far the best explanation of Gestalt Empty chair. I saw several videos and I had no clue what are they doing

I do this when I'm by myself in my home. Ppl think I'm nuts lol but it works to a degree. I've been doing this for decades actually. It releases stress towards an individual or individuals. It helps with past trauma/ victimizations. Bc sometimes the person or ppl aren't available and when they're not, this definitely helps. Ive been doing this exercise way before I even knew it was a common thing in therapy. I tried therapy a few times way back but it wasn't beneficial. I need someone who's been through what I have. Not someone who just sits there and pretends to get it or whatever. But yeah, this does work. It won't heal deeper wounds but it's definitely a help. Good vid lady. I appreciate it.

Thank you for your clear explanation and easy to relate to examples.

I love this how you elaborate the role play🥺🥺

Fantastic videos :) Thanks so much. Well explained !

This is an amazing resource Lewis, thank you so much!

Great video and very well explained. Thank you ❤

You're awesome ma'am. Your videos always give full cycle of experience. And i feel so light experiencing such psychological lessons. I've watched and liked all the chair work videos. They are short, perfect and mind blowing. One day I'll surely take a CBT session with you.

Great video. So helpfull. Thank you so much.

I am studying executive coaching and trying to understand all the psychology theories is hard, your channel is amazing, all the videos are easy to understand and helping me a lot! Thanks a lot!

Thank you, this is great 👍.

Thank you - Great work

This really worked for me and quietened my thoughts, I felt peaceful and it's been 16 years, I have not had the horrible thoughts.

Thank you very much for making this accessible for many of us who do have access to therapy. For my own healing journey, I really appreciate finding videos like these and picking up book recommendations while listening - I am slowly learning and will keep going.

Funny how I'm looking back at this video after watching one of your more recent ones concerning IFS and noticing how strikingly similar it is

This was great, thank you. Would you consider doing one on internal family systems?

I've been following your TA clips (great serie, thank you so much), but this is the first one I'm not sure how to feel about. Aren't you basically creating a dellusion by doing this, especially if its with people you may still randomly encounter at some point? At the end of the day, you are talking to a chair, and I'm not sure, but I doubt the conversation would have the same dialogue lines had the person imagined been there in first place. Personally at least, I would rather develop some skills to be able to say these kinda of things directly instead of some momentarily cope/relief, or maybe dig to the root of the problem to identify why I was feeling like that in the first place 😅 But that aside, thank you for a great serie!

Hello Dr. Lewis, can I please include a QR code in the workbook I'm writing about inner child work?

Thanks, this sounds like it could be very helpful. It also strikes me as a great technique to use with inner conflict in a novel.
