Working with developmental yearnings requires an embodied sensitivity to understand the intentionality of contact experienced in the bidirectionality of movements that occur at the contact-boundary. Often, words are employed prematurely as part of the contacting process as we seek to “language” experience. A somaesthetic approach nurtures the potential of the group incarnate where patterns of relating body forth between members, in the hope that spontaneity and vitality can be renewed and healing experienced. This is a form of group therapy, by the group, for the group, including the psychotherapist. A capacity of exquisite attention moment to moment and movement to movement within the group field supports such contacting processes.","PeriodicalId":444860,"journal":{"name":"Gestalt Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129266657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It expands attention to the vital role that this accentuation of familiarity plays not only in our everyday lives but also in the psychotherapy process and its communal possibilities. It also highlights the concept of ordinary familiarity as a guiding force that illuminates the geography of a lifetime. It expands these principles to create a communal relevance in the form of Life Focus Groups. These groups represent the expansion of ordinary therapeutic practice into the development of lifelong congregations, bringing attention to the nature of living in community, as contrasted with the more personal individual benefits of ordinary psychotherapy. It represents psychotherapy as an heir to religion, and as a force in the communal exploration of the lives people live.","PeriodicalId":444860,"journal":{"name":"Gestalt Review","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117275779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
