Bruce Gibbs, Ph.D, has been doing Focusing for 35+ years. He has practiced, taught and used Focusing in many arenas. His years doing management consulting were heavily influenced by his Focusing practice. He is also a long-time meditator and has integrated felt-sensing into his spiritual practice. He participated in the Focusing and Spirituality conversation for the several years that it was an active group. His interest in Shared-Fields came from his Focusing partnership with Bruce Nayowith and the several essays they offered.
