What You Learn In Part Two

• Mastery of the structure of the process so you’re able to improvise
• How to nurture positive feelings as a resource (both for yourself and in working with others)
• More ways to help yourself (or a partner) when feeling overwhelmed by strong emotional states
• A step-by-step way to build the skills to guide another person through the process, starting with your classmates
• Understanding the most typical block to Focusing: getting stuck with a “feeling about a feeling,” (eg, not liking being afraid) – and how to help yourself and other people shift this experience
• How to turn things around so your inner critics are on your side
• A wider understanding of the concept of “body” and what makes our bodies so wise
• How to let go of “rules” and still do Focusing — staying true to what is essential
