When we get stuck trying to solve a problem, we often feel overly stressed. Stress narrows our vision and then we have a hard time seeing the big picture. Being a confident problem solver is really important for our peace of mind and self-confidence. To solve any problem you need to define it, think of alternatives, evaluate and select an alternative and then act on one of them. If we can bring a creative attitude to our problem then we can relax into seeing the problem from different a perceptive. 
When I pay attention to myself I discover genuine resources to release my tensions, diminish my anxiety, and promote my inner dialogue. Through Focusing these human conditions deep within are developed naturally and find their expression, their voice, in Play.... In a note to Rob Foxcroft Gene says “I do know that the Process Model is difficult to read partly because I don’t explain what I am doing until the last section of III and the section IVAd. These might be put first. I also think that some part of VIII is understandable near the beginning because that’s where the concepts come from.”... 
Once we have discovered the depths and delights of Focusing, it can be difficult to answer the seemingly simple question, ‘What is Focusing?’ How can we sum up the subtlety and range that Focusing brings to our experience? How to easily express what it involves? Quite possibly, we’d need to explain a whole new, revolutionary relationship with ourselves. There may also be dramatic changes in the way we interact and engage with the world ‘out there’. Outlining how Focusing does all that can be challenging. After all, the felt-sense is by definition vague, fuzzy and hard to describe. That’s the whole point. We’re talking about something which does not yet have words, and which doesn’t even exist in the fully-formed way we normally relate to things. ... 
"A part of me says it wants to be left alone." "The felt sense told me it needed to be left alone..." JP writes: "While doing some focusing on an unclear felt sense I came to feel a strong sense of loss and the feeling of something being cut away. This was quite painful and it felt as though a grieving stage was the next step in the process. However, while focusing on this sense of something being cut away I asked the felt sense what it needed right now. After a long time focusing the felt sense told me it needed to be left alone, that I needed to 'put on a brave face for it' or even 'man up' a bit. It was as though the felt sense was telling me not to approach it publicly but to hide it away. "My question for you is: what do you think this is about? A process of grieving felt quite right to me but the felt sense was almost suggesting that it be locked away somewhere quite deep and it has left me feeling quite confused."....
Focusing and Depression, Part Two "Let's ignore the dark stuff, and just be happy." Last week we heard from a reader who asked if it was possible to do Focusing while depressed. I replied that a part that believes the world is a hopeless place is trying to protect her from feeling worse. This week we hear back from her...

Chi Gong and Focusing are complementary perfect approaches facilitating Self Acceptance of the Whole Experience ( APIE in Spanish) to explore the inner path developing through daily life, towards self discovery and self realization at our own singular and precise time....
A reader writes: "Can I do Focusing when I am depressed? I know 'depressed' covers a whole lot of points along the spectrum, and the answer probably varies depending on far along the spectrum it is. For me, the essence of depression is distortion, and the loss of perspective. I am afraid if I focus while depressed, and come face to face with some of these bitterly disappointed and unhappy parts of myself, which have big global beliefs about how black the world is, and how hopeless, if I do that when there isn't a lot of strength in Self-in-Presence to be with them - well, I wonder about the wisdom of that.... 
Those of us who are adult survivors of child sexual abuse are good at looking good. After all, we’ve kept a terrible secret throughout our childhood and often into adulthood. We’ve learned to appear untroubled and unshakable. No one must guess how shaky we feel inside. ... David I. Rome is a certified Focusing Trainer who has brought Focusing together with Buddhist mindfulness-awareness practices in workshops in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. When people do well in psychotherapy, this is how they usually sound, regardless of the orientation of their therapist. They pause and grope for words or images. They pay attention to an unclear, but bodily-sensed aspect of how they are in a situation. They don’t just think about the situation and they don’t drown in emotions. They attend to what we call a "bodily felt sense of--" a situation or problem. Words or images arise directly from that sense. What comes is often a surprise. A new aspect of experience emerges, a small step of change that brings a body response, like a slight physical easing of tension, or tears, or a deeper breath. We call this a "felt shift." This kind of process is one "motor of change" in psychotherapy... |

My new Art Therapy Assistant We all have secrets. Most of us have struggled with not knowing if we should share our secrets; hold onto secrets that others tell us privately, when to tell a secret or who to share a secret with.

I wake up, sensing deep night all around, with just a hint of dawn. I float deliciously for a few moments in a dream-filled, sleep-soaked, semi-conscious state; then roll over. I’m intending to snuggle down again into that sleepy warmth – but the sad fact is, I’m still awake. Sleep is still close by, and I can feel it in and around me. But now there’s something else too – an anxiety, a dread even, about what this night will bring. Groggily-tired, I begin to search for sleep: it grows elusive. I start to grow restless, with a touch of creeping despair, as I wonder how I’ll cope next day. I’m even wider awake now, and feeling helpless too, because my mind has dispatched itself to some buzzy hinterland, and I know that I might as well give up on sleep, although I’m too tired to do anything else…
But how can I know the direction of my own growth and development? If I decide what growth to aim at, my decision springs from my feelings and attitudes, how I am now. When my friends hear my change-aim, they might say, “Yes he would choose that. That’s typical of him”. My own plan for my change will keep me basically unchanged. But no one else can decide for me, either. […] People decide to change according to their present values. [Let your body interpret your dreams, Gendlin] 
Do your friends take up your time and energy in an unbalanced or selfish way that leaves you feeling drained? Sometimes we enter friendships that appear healthy, but over time they change in ways that may be harmful. If your friend only calls when she/he needs something, that is a clear sign that they do not have your best interest in their hearts. We need balance in relationships, so when you need something and your friend is nowhere to be found—perhaps you don’t have balance.

As we move through life, our opinions and ideas change. Sometimes we unconsciously or mindlessly operate from an older belief system when really we have shifted. We want to respond in one way, but we surprise ourselves by habitually responding in a different way. What do you believe, in the here and now? The following exercise gives you a chance to see what you believe now about some of the critical issues in your life. 
This retreat is intended for people looking to make a stronger connection between meditation and daily life. As meditators we invest a lot of time and effort in cultivating the mental skills of mindfulness and awareness. The practice of Focusing builds directly on these skills to develop action-oriented intuitive insights into the challenges we encounter "off the cushion." Using contemplative methods from Western psychology and philosophy, Focusing puts us in touch with the subtle level of experience known as the felt sense, where the non-conceptual wisdom of the body can be unfolded. Focusing is a powerful means for working with problems in personal relationships and work settings, helping us gain fresh understanding and energy with which to overcome blocks, make wiser decisions, and feel more fully alive and authentic
Art doesn’t work unless something new actually comes. Neither does philosophy. Neither does therapy. In this course we explore this question: How does one make a space where something new can come? We’ll visit thinking (philosophy and concept creation), art, and therapy as examples, but there are many other areas where the new is needed. |
