In the Focusing Level Four workshop you’ll develop a compassionate approach to inner critics, thoughts and distractions, and resistance. You’ll learn what to do when your Focusing companion or client feels nothing or too much. You’ll be able to identify when different parts of a client’s process are interfering. For example, “I hate the part of me that always gives in” involves a part that gives in and a part that hates it for doing so. This is so important in addressing complex issues and trauma. Each part or aspect of the whole experience needs to be listened to and given a chance to unwind.
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
