Focusing Foundations Training Program (Part 2 Only)

Join us as we delve deeper into the transformative practice of Inner Relationship Focusing in Part 2 of the Focusing Foundations Training. This nine-week live, virtual course provides the time and space to assimilate, refine, and expand upon the insights and skills acquired in Part 1.

Through this comprehensive program, you’ll strengthen your connection to your body’s Felt-Sense, navigate emotions with greater ease, and cultivate an inner Presence that fosters balance, resilience, and profound personal growth. By further developing your inner environment, you’ll be able to support deep and lasting transformation—both within yourself and in your interactions with others.

Whether you are continuing this journey for personal exploration or to integrate Focusing into your professional work, this course provides practical tools to enhance your ability to support both yourself and those you work with. Upon completion, you’ll be eligible for advanced courses or the certification program.

What You Can Learn in Part 2:

• Deepen your practice with confidence.
• Refine your listening and communication skills for deeper connections.
• Adapt to meet the Focuser’s unique process.
• Identify and support conflicting parts, exiled parts and the inner critic.
• Learn new strategies to navigate resistance or feeling stuck.
• Clarify distinctions between Parts and Felt Senses.
• Strengthen your practice through Solo Focusing and peer partnerships.
• Embody the Focusing process to access your inner wisdom for life.

What Graduates Say:

I feel more equipped to be with my body sensation and emotions. I feel more confident and calm when sitting with friends and clients when they share intense feelings.

- Rachael G.  USA

The layering approach Laura uses to introduce something new week-by-week incrementally inspired and encouraged me. Also, she delights in feedback and provides a safe and supportive space for whatever questions may arise. I started to notice that Focusing is extending out to other areas of my life, even if it is only for brief moments at a time. It's not necessarily me using the phrases I have learnt, it's just happening or becoming part of everyday life.

- C. O.  Ireland

I loved that I got to practice the skills in a structured way with a partner and discovered new things on my own. Personally, I feel I am now on intimate terms with what is going on in my body and mind.
