Gestalt course review
I took part in a 9-month weekly Gestalt group, expertly supported by Dr. Melanie Salmon, and the growth I experienced—both personally and as part of the group—was truly profound.
This space became a rare and powerful container where I could show up fully, explore what it means to be human, and witness the raw, beautiful, and sometimes uncomfortable spectrum of life in connection with others. The group was made up of truly special people, each bringing courage, honesty, and deep presence to the work.
Together, we navigated discomfort, celebrated joy, and sat with grief. I learned to soften in places I had once been guarded, and to meet both myself and others with greater compassion.
The support I experienced wasn’t about fixing or rescuing—it was about being fully with what is. That kind of support changed something fundamental in me. It strengthened my capacity to stay present through challenge, deepened my trust in human connection, and had a lasting impact on my wellbeing.
I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Melanie Salmon and everyone in the group for creating a space that felt both sacred and deeply real.
