"I wish Focusing had been a required course for me in graduate school! Since becoming a Focusing-Oriented Therapist, I am more present; more flexible, have more energy, and my clients heal at deeper levels faster." - Carol Nickerson, MSW, LICSW
Focusing Level One: Self in Presence
Learn to incorporate transformational Focusing skills in your personal life and your professional practice! Specifically designed for therapists and healing professionals, this workshop will teach you how to bring awareness into your body and sense the subtle ways your inner self communicates with you. You’ll build trust in this inner relationship, and create a safe and nurturing environment within – one that encourages your innate gifts. You’ll discover the first important skills of finding and holding presence in a Focusing session and how you can help clients to do the same. Shifting your experiencing, and that of your clients from “I feel …” to “I’m sensing something in me that feels …” is essential to allowing a felt sense to form.
This workshop is the first of the four levels of Focusing in my Focusing for Therapy & Healing Training.
Prerequisite: A guided session with any Focusing teacher. I offer a reduced session fee of $75 for those registered for the workshop. A guided session helps prepare you for the workshops by giving you a solid experience of finding and interacting with a felt sense during your session. Please contact me if you’d like help scheduling a session.
How Focusing Helps Therapists and Healing Professionals:
Focusing is combinable with any form of therapy and makes it more effective. It will help you to:
- Unwind your own trauma
- Learn about your own protective strategies
- Look at your own bonding patterns
- Access the wisdom of your body
- Track and work with transference and counter transference in the therapeutic relationship
- Tune into your own felt senses, allowing you to bring more presence to your client interactions
- Learn how to 'hold space' for clients so that they can show up and be just how they need to be in the moment
