Some would argue that the knowledge and experience within this workshop is essential to every practitioner.  How can we proceed as therapists without a clear understanding of “felt sense” and primitive body processes that underpin our clinical work? 

This workshop will concentrate on the “person-centred” nature of the work by Eugene Gendlin, one of the research partners of Carl Rogers.  We will be looking at the nature of Focusing and how it fits with modern components of psychotherapy such as mindfulness, somatic orientation, the present moment, relationality and the importance of values-based work, acceptance, and attachment theory.

This 90 minute workshop is an introduction to this fascinating therapeutic stance and intervention of Focusing.  This workshop will be followed by a set of half-days that will offer the practitioner the opportunity to deepen their learning.

As the Andy is passionate about Transactional Analysis, some of this may creep in too!

This workshop will offer delegates the opportunity to move away from the pure cognitive for a while, and to return to the intuitive and to one’s own “felt sense”. It is hoped, as we move out of Covid-19 in 2020, that this workshop will allow delegates to breathe and to get in contact with “body sense” again – even if we continue to work remotely.
