Empty Chair Therapy: A Brief Overview
Empty Chair Therapy, also known as the empty chair technique, is a psychotherapeutic exercise where a client is asked to talk to an empty chair as if it were a person they have unresolved issues with. This could be a deceased parent, a neglectful caregiver, or a friend who betrayed them. The technique allows the client to articulate their feelings and frustrations, which often remain latent and contribute to their overall stress and health issues. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals who had to suppress their emotions in their formative years due to difficult family circumstances.
