Gestalt therapy focuses on the patient's current experience and awareness. The therapist would say the patient's current field, or their present perception and experience, is being affected by the memory of the event, rather than the actual event itself, unresolved guilt, or repression of the event. This approach emphasizes understanding the present context of the patient's feelings and how past experiences, such as memories, influence their current state.
