We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain. In doing so, we change our spontaneous physical, emotional and mental responses to life’s occurrences.

Marie Connors Focusing Foundations Training Level 3 &4
Focusing offers a rich potential for change. It opens a doorway to a space where it is possible to transform your life in a way that feels right for you. Focusing is a practice everyone can learn without undertaking years of professional development or going to see a therapist. With a little training, you can learn to access the space beyond your thoughts to find the "more" that is happening in any situation. When we are in contact with our direct experience of the “more”, small steps of change begin to emerge, and this can lead us on to fresh life-giving directions. The wonderful thing is that when you learn focusing you can use it whenever you need it for the rest of your life.

Foundations in Focusing Level 1 & 2 is a prerequisite to this course.

This process group is an opportunity to meet in a group of up to six people for six weeks to allow the process of Focusing to carry you forward, while deepening both your Focusing and listening skills. There is a strong emphasis on building self-compassion through common humanity in this group, and we utilize the practice of empathy circles with empathic reflections each class to help achieve this goal. We will also use a mix of either round-robin interactive responses and breakout room practice.

Healing Developmental Trauma with Inner Relationship Focusing
Developmental trauma can result in insecure attachment to self and others. Inner Relationship Focusing is an embodied toolkit uniquely suited to addressing attachment wounds that lead to insecure attachment strategies. SIRF supports building a secure relationship with embodied partial self states, shifting internal working models of self and other from insecure to earned secure, while building regulation skills in support of embodied presence. By supporting the development of a secure relationship with self and partial self states in a deeply embodied way, regulation skills improve and range of resilience expands, supporting greater possibilities for repair of attachment related ruptures to self and others.

Yehudit First Yehudit First's Logo
Imagine being really present in the here-and-now…enjoying interpersonal moments with the freedom to be yourself, to feel good – to experience surprise and delight instead of repetitive, stressful patterns of interaction.

Social Oriented Focusing (SOF) teaches us to untie the KNOTS and NOTS that interfere with relating to others, enabling us to overcome blocks, fears, and automatic behaviors.
