One thing therapists sometimes use is called the “empty chair.” You pretend someone is sitting in the chair — maybe a parent, friend, or even a younger version of yourself — and you say the things you never got to say out loud. This can help people release hurt, anger, sadness, or fear in a safe way. The goal of Gestalt therapy is to help people feel more aware, confident, calm, and connected to themselves instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Brainspotting works by using eye positions that connect to stored emotional stress in the brain. A therapist helps you focus on a specific gaze while you notice body sensations and feelings. This allows your nervous system to naturally process and release stuck trauma, reducing emotional intensity over time.

For people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic stress, ecotherapy can help lower hypervigilance and emotional overwhelm by giving the nervous system a sense of safety and connection. Nature is often used as a supportive “co-therapist,” helping people feel less stuck inside their thoughts and more connected to their body and environment.
