I'm able to take simple positive actions without concern. I'm able to just get things done. My habit before was to repeatedly stop short and not do it which somehow felt safer. Now I can complete things or buy something I've been thinking about without a second thought. Anonymous
Focusing enables and guides you to sense into the whole 'way' your body is carrying an issue. It allows you to get to know better the characteristics of what your body has been quietly carrying underneath the chronic pain / emotional uneasiness / indecision / anger / shame / freeze state, etc... It has literally been life-saving for many people. It has taken my autoimmunity down from 600 points in a blood test to 50, with 35 being considered "normal." I started using Focusing to help clients with: sleep, chronic pain, trauma, compulsive behavior, lack of motivation and a slow-to-no cranial rhythm. After trying many different techniques, I remained unsuccessful in restarting the cranial rhythm when people were in a state of overwhelm aka "freeze." Focusing restarts the cranial rhythm every single time! It has never failed; not even once! Additionally, Focusing truly heals (cures) our early, developmental trauma like nothing else! The name 'Focusing' is a misnomer. It really should be called 'Inner Listening.' My description will not do it justice. It's very experiential. Your health will be restored AND emotional triggers will go away!
Eugene Gendlin, 1926-2017, discoverer of Focusing. His technique was later enhanced and improved upon by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin, my wonderful teachers!
