Resourcing is the practice of drawing on inner strengths and external supports to help you feel grounded, safe, and steady—especially during times of stress or overwhelm. Whether it’s a calming breath, a walk in nature, or a comforting memory, resourcing builds your capacity to stay present and connected. At Terra Soul Therapies, we gently integrate resourcing into therapy to support healing and resilience in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Autistic individuals often experience the world with deep sensitivity, focus, and honesty—but can feel overwhelmed in chaotic or unpredictable environments. Gestalt therapy offers a grounded, respectful space to build awareness, regulate sensory experiences, and explore personal strengths without pressure to change. At Terra Soul Therapies, I support neurodivergent clients to feel safe, seen, and empowered—just as they are.

Some of the most powerful healing moments aren’t loud or dramatic—they’re quiet, grounded, and real. A slow walk in nature. Sitting beside a friend who truly sees you. This post explores how presence, connection, and the natural world can gently help us come back to ourselves—no fixing needed, just space to breathe. At Terra Soul Therapies, I honour these quiet ways of healing. Come as you are—leave a little more at peace.

This study explored the effectiveness of Gestalt therapy for anxiety using a single-case experimental design with ten clients. Across baseline, treatment, and follow-up phases, clients showed reduced anxiety and improved wellbeing. Using tools like the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, researchers found key therapeutic shifts, suggesting Gestalt therapy is a viable alternative to CBT—especially for those who haven’t responded to traditional treatments.

Many of us carry religious beliefs we never chose—introjected messages that shape us without awareness. In Gestalt therapy, we explore how these beliefs live in the body and impact our sense of self. Whether you’re questioning your faith, deconstructing religion, or untangling shame and guilt, therapy offers a space to gently explore what’s truly yours. You’re allowed to question, to change, and to reclaim your voice.

In Gestalt therapy, polarities are seen as opposite parts of the self—like strong and vulnerable, or independent and needy. One often becomes figure (more visible) while the other fades into ground (less noticed). Healing comes through awareness, allowing both sides to be seen and integrated. Rather than choosing one over the other, we explore how they coexist and what each part is trying to offer, creating more wholeness and choice in the present moment.

Remembering your true self isn’t about going back, but reconnecting with what’s always been within. Over time, we adapt to survive—hiding parts of ourselves to feel safe or accepted. Gestalt therapy gently brings those parts into awareness, exploring patterns, polarities, and beliefs we’ve carried without question. In this space, you begin to hear your own voice again. It’s not about fixing—it’s about coming home to who you’ve always been, one moment at a time.

Remembering your true self is not about becoming someone new, but returning to who you’ve always been. Over time, we adapt to please, to survive, to belong—quietly setting aside parts of ourselves. Gestalt therapy supports a gentle reawakening of those parts through present-moment awareness, curiosity, and compassion. It’s not about fixing or striving, but reconnecting with the inner truth that was never truly lost, just waiting to be remembered and welcomed home.

Not every feeling is yours to keep. Sometimes we carry emotions that belong to others—family, culture, past relationships, or collective pain. In Gestalt therapy, we bring awareness to what we’ve absorbed without question, gently exploring what’s truly ours and what we can begin to release. Letting go doesn’t mean denying your experience, but honouring it and choosing what still serves you. You’re allowed to feel, and you’re also allowed to let go.
