​This beautiful Victorian inspired house was built in 1894 by James Abbott for his daughter. It sits next door to its sister house, and both are the last remaining homes in the Abbott Subdivision in downtown Springfield, MO. The Gestalt House Today
​
​At first sight, it answered all of the needs and desires in offering a safe and homey space for people to come and heal. Walking through the front door offered a peacefulness that is rare in today’s climate. It offered an aged beauty that was beyond words and surprises that still floor me. The words “move-in ready” came to mind. Maybe a wall painted here or there and done, open the doors and let its light shine. This house became a metaphor for my work, my life, and my passion. My “move-in ready” evolved into seeing, finding, fixing, and strengthening. I never imagined that I would Gestalt a house, but that is what happened. I saw the things that needed to be fixed and fixed them. I found the weaknesses in the foundation and structure and strengthened them. This house needed to be healed and strengthened so it could provide the safe sanctuary of love, compassion, and healing. This house represents life. We may look or feel broken, but in reality, we are whole beautiful beings that only need help in finding the parts that need healing and strengthening. It has been a labor of love. Welcome to The Gestalt House, a place that offers a caring sanctuary for your self-care, whether that be externally, internally, or emotionally. To Your Continued Growth and Success! Teha Callen

“What if this is just who I am now?”
That's a frightening thought when you remember feeling different.
More excited about things.
More connected.
More playful.
More confident.
More like yourself.
Then life happened.
Relationships happened.
Responsibilities happened.
Loss happened.
Years happened.
And slowly you adapted.
That's what people do.
But adaptation has an interesting way of becoming identity when we live inside it long enough.
“I've always been anxious.”
“I've always overthought.”
“I've always been like this.”
Maybe.
And maybe some things you've started calling personality are simply ways of being that became familiar.
You don't have to answer that today.
Just notice which sentence made you defensive.
That may be the interesting one.
What have you caught yourself saying, “That's just how I am” about?
Let me know in the comments.

There are people you feel tired around before they've even done anything.
And you've probably tried to explain it away.
You're tired.
You're antisocial.
You're in a mood.
You're imagining things.
But then they leave...
and something changes.
You breathe differently.
Your shoulders drop.
The room feels different.
You feel more like yourself.
I'm not telling you what that means.
I'm asking you to become curious about what you notice.
Because we receive information in more ways than we're usually taught to trust.
And sometimes the most useful thing you can do is stop immediately explaining away what you're experiencing.
Who makes you feel MORE like yourself after spending time with them?
That's worth noticing too.

Your body shouldn't have to scream before it earns your attention.
We tend to wait.
The tension is manageable.
The sleep isn't THAT bad.
The headache will probably go away.
The exhaustion is because we've been busy.
The back always hurts, so that's nothing new.
Until manageable becomes miserable.
Then suddenly we're willing to rearrange everything.
What fascinates me is how differently we respond to someone we love.
If they told us they hadn't felt good in months, we'd probably say:
“You need to do something about that.”
But when it's us?
“I'll see how I feel next week.”
Maybe listening to yourself before things become unbearable isn't overreacting.
Maybe it's a relationship with your body that doesn't require it to beg for your attention.
What has your body been quietly asking you to pay attention to?

Here's an uncomfortable question:
Who would you be if nobody needed you?
Not loved you.
Needed you.
There's a difference.
If you weren't fixing.
Helping.
Managing.
Remembering.
Anticipating.
Keeping the peace.
Being the reliable one.
Would you feel relieved?
Or would part of you feel strangely unnecessary?
Sometimes we become so identified with what we provide that receiving feels uncomfortable and simply BEING feels unproductive.
Then we call ourselves independent.
Maybe.
But independence feels very different from never allowing yourself to need anyone.
Which feels more uncomfortable to you: someone needing you or YOU needing someone?
