How does Gestalt therapy help prevent burnout?
A conversation about how Gestalt therapy sees burnout not only as a diagnosis but as a personal story in which a person withdraws from their needs, body and feelings.
Danguolė Krupovnickienė
Danguolė Krupovnickienė is a Gestalt psychotherapist and supervisor who integrates Mindfulness, mindfulness-based stress management and cognitive behavioural therapy principles, grounding her work in a deep understanding of human experience. Her own traumatic experiences led her to this path, becoming not only a challenge but also a foundation for seeking meaning, inner support and vitality. In her practice she invites the person to return to the 'here and now', recognise the influence of the past but no longer let it control the present, restoring contact with oneself, one's feelings and the direction of life. Her goal is to help a person regain a sense of self and create a life that is not only functional but truly felt.
