Focusing
“Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.”
~ Eugene Gendlin
Focusing is a gentle way of slowing down, pausing, and opening up to the deeper contours and meanings of your experience. It is a dialogic process of sensing and describing a nebulous something in your awareness. This may begin as a bodily sensation, an image, a metaphorical presence, or more.
​​​​​​
Sitting with it for some moments, you allow it to make itself known. A deep longing may be asking for your careful tending. A complex situation may need quiet beholding before you are ready to engage with it.
When barriers are acknowledged, they transform into messages about your present needs. As you let it unfold, what is fraught begins to loosen and rearrange, and soon, the next move becomes apparent.

In supporting people in their processes, I often draw on approaches from Family Constellations, Yoga and Qigong, Non-Violent Communication, Somatic Experiencing, Coherence Therapy, and Visual Journaling.​
