This review explores the use of Gestalt therapy in addressing gender-based violence and trauma recovery. It highlights how Gestalt therapy fosters a safe, empowering space for survivors, helping them reconnect with their identities and emotional needs. The study emphasizes self-awareness, non-pathologizing approaches, and the importance of intersectionality in understanding violence. While insightful, the study's reliance on a single case and lack of methodological detail limit its generalizability. Expanding the sample size and incorporating quantitative data could strengthen future research.
