# Fritz Perls

> Fritz Perls built a therapy that asked people to stop explaining themselves and start noticing - what they felt, how they moved, what happened in the room right now. The method spread through Esalen in the 1960s and still shapes how counselors work today.

## Bio

Born in Germany on July 8, 1893, Friedrich Salomon Perls trained as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst before breaking with Freud's talking cure. In the 1940s and 1950s, he and his wife Laura developed Gestalt therapy, a practice centered on present-moment awareness - sensation, perception, emotion, the contact between self and world. By 1964 Perls had landed at California's Esalen Institute, where he lived and taught until 1969, a year before his death on March 14, 1970. The framework he left behind traded the couch for the here and now.
