Our life is our perception of the world. These are our emotions, feelings and experiences. All this is a reaction to how we contact the outside world, ourselves, our inner world. This determines satisfaction or disappointment with our life: whether we experience it happily or dramatically, whether life is difficult or easy for us. In a word, the quality of our contact is the quality of our life. Often a person is not aware of the process of his contact: contact with the world, nature, people, contact with various things that surround him. A person contacts not only subjects, but also everything that surrounds him. Inanimate objects are also the party of contact. And here the quality of this contact is also important. Contact is carried out using channels of perception, that is, it can be tactile, visual, or auditory. Contact is also carried out using smell, speech, and non-verbal body signals. The formation of an integral body structure depends on the quality of these processes. A person can listen but not hear; look but not see; touch but not feel. A person’s bodily structure transmits information about emotional experience. However, this may not be realized. But unawareness does not exclude the influence of bodily structure on contact. As is already known, emotional experiences begin from the very birth of a person. Contact with the world begins as soon as the baby is born. His knowledge of the world is formed due to his perception and the emotional load that is conveyed by his environment, and specifically by his mother. The way she reacts to her baby, to his manifestations and to his needs, gives him knowledge about the world around him and about himself. It depends on whether the child will accept the world as hostile, where he constantly needs to defend himself and be careful not to strain, or open, where there will be trust, calm and relaxation. Thanks to this experience, from birth a person builds his relationship with the world that surrounds him. The child has little experience and little opportunity to influence his environment, on which he is dependent. The child’s body remembers this experience, further forming its bodily structure. If this experience is often positive, then the body will be harmoniously built. If this experience is more negative (the mother is aggressive, irritated, screams, or indifferent, cold, passive, ignoring the needs of the child), then the body will retain the tightness, stiffness, and the reaction that the child experienced. And negative reactions are intense. Throughout life, the context of the environment changes, but the reaction may remain the same, habitual. So we have to see people with their shoulders slumped forward, or, on the contrary, raised, with a hunched back, or vice versa with their chest protruded forward, etc. And this is how a person goes through life trying to contact the world by demonstrating a certain message. And this is how others perceive him, accepting this message. Everything in the world is connected to everything. To make full contact, it is important to separate yourself and feel yourself. Internal boundaries influence how a person organizes contact. Often these boundaries are not recognized. It is difficult to recognize unpleasant, familiar, automatic things. Professional psychologists, psychotherapists, and Gestalt therapists help with this awareness. We observe how a person’s contact functions fail, and this makes it possible to deal with these failures, ensuring open and honest contact with the environment. Change becomes an inevitable result of contact.
