This workshop outlines the essence and main elements of Focusing-Oriented Therapy (FOT) and its distinct approach to clients’ change process. FOT is a form of client-centred, process-oriented, experiential therapy with a humanistic spirit and a relational heart. It works with immediate experience by using the felt sensing method—directly felt bodily experience of one’s lived reality.
You will learn about:
- FOT view of personality, philosophy of change, psychotherapy process and interventions
- Assessment process from the FOT perspective
- Balancing the internal (deep inner work), relational (relational dynamic between the client and the therapist), and external (present-day life’s problem-focused) focus and work, with the awareness of the

Untangling® Retreats are 6-day residential retreats for people with Focusing experience who want to learn how to apply our Untangling® method to life’s most hard-to-change issues.
We’ve been teaching Untangling® Retreats in 15 countries over the past 25 years, helping thousands of people learn our method, getting responses like this one from Paul Fitzgerald: "The experience was like a dissolving of an old way of seeing life and having new eyes to engage life with more freedom. I'd highly encourage anyone interested in deepening their Focusing to take this course."
We believe that transformation occurs most readily in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, openness, warmth, playfulness, and support. Our mission is to enable you to live from your

This eight-week course is an opportunity to strengthen your listening skills and deepen your Focusing experiences. In improving your listening skills with empathy and compassion, you create an even stronger container for the felt sense and Focusing process, the motor of change.
The course uses inspiration from Eugene Gendlin, Carl Rogers, Interactive Focusing (Janet Klein, Mary McGuire, and Masumi Maeda), Tomeu Barceló, Glen Fleisch, Allan Rohlfs, as well as a host of empathy researchers.
You will also learn to better sense your own needs while Focusing, in listening to the nuances from your felt sense (self-empathy) and then meet those needs, either by giving that to yourself or asking your listener for what it needs (self-compassion).

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of how we companion ourselves as well as others. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. I introduce relational neuroscience here.
Experience in a beginner partnership course is required. Discount for partnership courses or experience beyond that. A great place for advanced Focusers to return to.

Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. We begin and end remembering that always that which has learned Focusing is Partiality, not Presence. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.
Meets eight times on Wednesdays, 7 –9 pm New York time.

Our Focusing Process Groups are an opportunity to meet 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 our demonstrations use the practice of empathy circles with empathic reflections to help achieve this goal. We will also use a mix of either round-robin interactive responses and breakout room practice.
