Gestalt TherapyPerls, Clarkson and
Mackewn, 1994
Awareness is the capacity to:
Be in touch with own experience
Notice what is happening around or inside of you
Connect with the environment, other people, or yourself
Knowing what you are feeling, sensing, or thinking
Knowing how you are reacting at this very moment
