Dear friends and colleagues,

As the year comes to a close, December offers us an opportunity to pause and recognise the effort we have made throughout the year. To acknowledge everything we have managed, carried, and learned, and to gently place things into perspective about what truly matters in life.

We would also like to acknowledge the tragic events that occurred at Bondi Beach (Australia). Our heartfelt condolences go to the families and loved ones affected. Events like this can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and uncertain. These reactions are very human.

At times like this, some people may experience emotional distress or what is known as vicarious or secondary trauma. This can occur when we are exposed to the suffering of others through news, stories, images, or our caring roles. Symptoms may include anxiety, sleep difficulties, emotional withdrawal, intrusive thoughts, numbness, or feeling emotionally exhausted. These experiences can build over time and affect our well-being, even if we were not directly involved.

If you recognise any of these signs, we encourage you to seek support. Speaking with your counsellor or GP can provide guidance, reassurance, and appropriate care. You do not have to manage this alone.

In challenging times, connection is essential. Finding comfort with loved ones, friends, and trusted people, and allowing space to share emotions, can be deeply supportive.

The end of the year is also a time to recognise your strengths. To acknowledge that even when the journey has been difficult, you have continued forward. Sometimes simply getting through is already an achievement. We invite you to honour every step, both small and large. We are proud of you!.

To those who have worked with us through counselling/ Gestalt/ Gestalt Art Therapy sessions, workshops, training programs, or as members of the Gestalt Art Therapy Club, thank you for trusting us to support you on your journey. It is a privilege to walk alongside you.

We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a gentle transition into the New Year.
We look forward to connecting again in 2026.

With warmth,
Yaro & Gemma

►Micro-Changes and Self Care BMS© Gestalt Art Therapy
*FREE PARTICIPATION

Event Coordinated by HUMANS OF GESTALT

Micro Changes and Self-Care BMS© through Art.

In the demanding field of mental health and psychotherapy, self-care is often overlooked or deprioritised.
►The Power of Micro Changes in Self-Care: Integrating Body, Mind, and Spirit through Gestalt Art Therapy invites professionals to reflect on the transformative impact of small, intentional actions.
►Grounded in Gestalt Therapy principles, this session emphasises awareness, responsibility, and the integration of experience as the foundation of holistic well-being. Through the framework of Gestalt Art Therapy, participants will explore how micro changes-minor yet meaningful shifts in daily activities- can significantly enhance self-support and professional resilience.
►The Body-Mind-Spirit (BMS©) model will guide this exploration, encouraging participants to consider the interconnectedness of:
• Body – physical movement, nourishment, and breath awareness
• Mind – thought awareness, emotional regulation, and mindful attention
• Spirit – creative expression, meaning-making, and connection to something greater
►This integrative approach empowers therapists to develop personalised self-care routines that honour their unique rhythms, limitations, and environments.

Participants will engage in experiential and reflective activities grounded in Gestalt methods, enhancing their awareness of current needs, patterns of resistance, and habitual avoidances.

By focusing on the here and now, small shifts become sustainable practices that nurture presence and vitality. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped to integrate micro changes that support their ability to be present-with themselves and others-ultimately strengthening the therapeutic presence and preventing burnout.

Participation donations are welcome
