​This beautiful Victorian inspired house was built in 1894 by James Abbott for his daughter. It sits next door to its sister house, and both are the last remaining homes in the Abbott Subdivision in downtown Springfield, MO. The Gestalt House Today
​
​At first sight, it answered all of the needs and desires in offering a safe and homey space for people to come and heal. Walking through the front door offered a peacefulness that is rare in today’s climate. It offered an aged beauty that was beyond words and surprises that still floor me. The words “move-in ready” came to mind. Maybe a wall painted here or there and done, open the doors and let its light shine. This house became a metaphor for my work, my life, and my passion. My “move-in ready” evolved into seeing, finding, fixing, and strengthening. I never imagined that I would Gestalt a house, but that is what happened. I saw the things that needed to be fixed and fixed them. I found the weaknesses in the foundation and structure and strengthened them. This house needed to be healed and strengthened so it could provide the safe sanctuary of love, compassion, and healing. This house represents life. We may look or feel broken, but in reality, we are whole beautiful beings that only need help in finding the parts that need healing and strengthening. It has been a labor of love. Welcome to The Gestalt House, a place that offers a caring sanctuary for your self-care, whether that be externally, internally, or emotionally. To Your Continued Growth and Success! Teha Callen

Your body shouldn't have to scream before it earns your attention.
We tend to wait.
The tension is manageable.
The sleep isn't THAT bad.
The headache will probably go away.
The exhaustion is because we've been busy.
The back always hurts, so that's nothing new.
Until manageable becomes miserable.
Then suddenly we're willing to rearrange everything.
What fascinates me is how differently we respond to someone we love.
If they told us they hadn't felt good in months, we'd probably say:
“You need to do something about that.”
But when it's us?
“I'll see how I feel next week.”
Maybe listening to yourself before things become unbearable isn't overreacting.
Maybe it's a relationship with your body that doesn't require it to beg for your attention.
What has your body been quietly asking you to pay attention to?

Here's an uncomfortable question:
Who would you be if nobody needed you?
Not loved you.
Needed you.
There's a difference.
If you weren't fixing.
Helping.
Managing.
Remembering.
Anticipating.
Keeping the peace.
Being the reliable one.
Would you feel relieved?
Or would part of you feel strangely unnecessary?
Sometimes we become so identified with what we provide that receiving feels uncomfortable and simply BEING feels unproductive.
Then we call ourselves independent.
Maybe.
But independence feels very different from never allowing yourself to need anyone.
Which feels more uncomfortable to you: someone needing you or YOU needing someone?

10/12/2026

Maybe you don't need to become more intuitive.
Maybe you need to stop arguing with yourself every time you know something.
Think about how often this happens:
Something feels off.
Then your mind arrives.
“I'm probably overthinking.”
“I'm being too sensitive.”
“Maybe I misunderstood.”
“They probably didn't mean it that way.”
“I don't have enough proof.”
And twenty minutes later you've constructed an airtight argument against your own experience.
Then months later:
“I KNEW IT.”
Your intuition may not have disappeared.
Your trust in it might have.
For one week, try something different:
When you get that first quiet knowing, write it down.
Don't act on it.
Don't make it mean anything.
Just stop immediately dismissing it.
Then watch.
Have you ever known something before you could explain HOW you knew it?

You finally get the house to yourself.
Nobody needs anything.
No phone call you have to make.
No problem waiting for you.
You have exactly what you've been asking for:
Time.
And within ten minutes...
you're cleaning something.
Checking email.
Scrolling.
Thinking about tomorrow.
Finding something productive to do.
Interesting, isn't it?
We talk a lot about wanting peace.
We talk less about whether we know how to be in it once it arrives.
Sometimes doing nothing isn't uncomfortable because you're bad at relaxing.
Sometimes quiet leaves you alone with yourself.
And if you've spent years staying busy, useful, needed or distracted, that can be a surprisingly unfamiliar person to sit with.
What do you automatically reach for when everything finally gets quiet?
