Focusing and Psychotherapy (4 CEUs)

Psychotherapy Cooperative

FOCUSING is a remarkable process that connects us to our deepest sense of ourselves and our living.

Casey Building

Presented by Seattle University Emeritus MAP Professor, Dr. Kevin Krycka Casey Building, Casey Commons, Room 530, Fifth FloorSeattle, WA 98122 In-person and Online FOCUSING takes us ‘below’ emotion, memory, intellect, and linear thinking to experiencing - a source for direct inner knowing. In this workshop you will learn to listen to the body’s subtle signals, to perceive issues in entirely new ways, so that they become clearer and more amenable to change. FOCUSING helps us access that inner intelligence called bodily wisdom. Through distinctive steps for interacting with the unique felt-sense of our experience (that which is as-yet-unclear to us), we learn to zigzag with and eventually harmonize what we think with what we feel - a skill that significantly enhances our interactions and communication with ourselves and with others. Through this introductory course you can further develop how to:• Listen and communicate more effectively with yourself and others• Create both an internal and external environment of safety• Identify limiting patterns that are no longer useful• Identify and experience your own internal ‘felt-sense’• Find a match between what you think and what you feel• Focus with the support of another person• Apply what you have learned immediately, professionally and personally FOCUSING was developed by Dr. Eugene T. Gendlin, author of Focusing. His research at the University of Chicago asked, "Why psychotherapy is helpful for some people, but not others?" Paying attention to what he called the as-yet-unclear bodily felt sense of an issue is a key component of successful therapy and having a meaning filled life. Making meaningful contact with inner intelligence is a skill that can be taught to anyone.
