AFTER THE WORKSHOP:

My Workshops will provide you with the basic information, and  will give you the basic experience of how to receive and give Focusing. There is much more to explore and learn if you want to utilise this method, for it to significantly enrich your life-quality. I would therefore recommend to exchange with other Focusers at the IMU, to  join a local Focusing group (Changes Groups) click here, or find a Focusing partner via phone click here. I will offer Focusing sessions and workshops whenever I visit Chicago.

Who benefits from Focusing?
All those who want to live a life rich in present moment awareness. Anyone who wishes to become emotionally mature, mentally clear, honest with oneself and others, and increasingly unburdened and joyful. Focusing can be used to become clear on what one feels or wants, to obtain new insights about one’s situation, and to stimulate change or healing. read more

Who was the founder of Focusing?
At the University of Chicago, beginning in 1953, Eugene Gendlin did 15 years of research analysing what made psychotherapy either successful or unsuccessful. Gendlin found that, without exception, the successful patient intuitively focuses inside on a very subtle and vague internal bodily awareness—or “felt sense”—which contains information that, if attended to, holds the key to the resolution of the problems the patient is experiencing. read more
