Empty Chair Technique

The Empty Chair Technique is a therapeutic method often used in counseling and psychology. It involves placing an empty chair in front of a person, representing someone they need to communicate with—this could be a loved one, a difficult authority figure, or even an aspect of themselves. The individual then speaks to the empty chair as if the person were present, exploring feelings, resolving conflicts, or gaining insights. This technique helps clarify emotions, understand perspectives, and promote healing, allowing individuals to express thoughts they'd find challenging to voice directly.
