Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gestalt therapy focuses on the client's present experience and awareness. It emphasizes what is happening in the moment and the client's personal responsibility for their feelings and actions. Saying "Your family is pressuring you to stay" shifts the focus to external circumstances and away from the client's internal experience and feelings, which is less aligned with Gestalt therapy principles.
