What will you receive from taking the Focusing Training Program? 

• An easy, step-by-step method for exploring any problem or stuck situation and finding relief, insight, and new steps of action, so you feel bigger than your problems and in control of your life

• A revolutionary way to access your body's wisdom – so you can get in touch with rich information about your life and your life's direction that you already know without knowing you know

• A simple but powerful listening process that lets you be supportive of other people – and yourself – in ways that are literally the opposite of interfering and giving advice, so your relationships open up

• Skills to grow your Self Compassion

• A structured plan for moving forward and taking the lessons beyond the course into your daily life so you feel empowered to take your life into the areas you've always wished for yourself

• A process that you can use with any problem or issue, now or in the future, for the rest of your life

• Practice in cultivating Self-in-Presence, the ability to be compassionately larger than your difficult emotions

• More ways to help your Focusing partners be Self-in-Presence

• A supported process for coming into body awareness at the start of the session, called ‘Leading In’, that you can give to and receive from your Focusing partner

• More about the ‘edge’, that place where what is unclear becomes clear, and how that is the key to transformation

• Support in getting the most out of your Focusing process, especially in places where you know it could go further but it isn’t

• ‘Advanced listening’ skills for helping your partner get a felt sense when starting with an issue, for helping your partner stay with the present moment, and much more.

Plus:

• Supported practice with partners

• Exercises and handouts

• Opportunities for questions and discussion.

What the class actually includes:
