Your Hosts
Where & When
This process group fosters experiential integration of what you know about yourself and what you know about therapy. It works at several levels.
One level is to integrate what happens clinically with clients and what it brings up for you personally. Our exploration straddles personal process and supervision, based on the idea that what we encounter with our clients is a rich source of personal and professional growth.
You practice responding to situations moment by moment, skillfully and creatively. You develop a quality of presence that allows clients to face what might otherwise feel uncomfortable or even unbearable and allows new possibilities to emerge.
To facilitate paying attention to the process of Focusing within this process group, there is a theme for each session, and students receive a video lecture and/or reading materials to prepare for each session.
This course is suitable for experienced Focusers as well as beginners. If you don’t know Focusing, you will get a short introduction to Focusing (self-learning) and you will organically become more proficient in Focusing as you practice during the course.
In addition to our sessions together as a group, you will be assigned to ongoing Focusing partnerships between sessions.
This is a small class (5 to 12 people) to ensure that everybody is actively involved.
