The Gestalt Prayer

In marriage and family therapy we discover that we have false expectations of each other.  We expect other people to act as we would.  This is a lie.  We are different and we do not see the world the same way.  Although we need to work together we must also understand that our differences are our strengths.  TJS


I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.
(Fritz Perls, 1969)
