Focusing
was developed by Professor Eugene T. Gendlin
at the University of Chicago in the 1960’s. In notable studies
he discovered why psychotherapy can be immediately helpful to
some patients and why other patients, even with extended efforts,
do not experience an improvement in their symptoms. According
to the results of his studies, the success of a therapy depends
upon whether an inner connection to or a feeling for the problem
can be perceived. He called this inner connection the “Felt
Sense".
The
felt sense for a life-theme or a person is the key to successful
focusing training. It enables us to remove ourselves from any possible
explanation and to describe a physical sensation with words such
as “prickling,” “steel ball,” “something
very old,” etc.
Focusing
is a body-oriented process involving self-awareness and
emotional healing. You will sense how you feel in changing
situations and will learn how to engage in inner communication in
order to get to know yourself better and understand yourself better.
For
whom is Focusing?
If
you answer one of the following questions with “yes,”
focusing will be able to assist you in a meaningful way:
Are
you now in a time of personal or professional transition in your
life? (Separation, divorce, reorientation)
Do
you feel blocked? (Traumatic experience, illness, injury,
loss of job, death in the family)
Do
you need to make an important decision? (Change in jobs,
choosing a course of study, re-locating)
Focusing
can help you to enter into and remain in better contact with yourself.
You will learn to listen more closely to your inner voice and your
body, to make decisions and act upon them adequately. Your confidence
in yourself will be strengthened and you will discover your own
creativity in your personal development. Your emotions will be in
union with your thoughts and you will be able to make successful
decisions based on your deep inner knowledge.
