Gendlin says, in his book chapter: "The body's releasing steps in experiential process" that:

"Most attempts to work on a personal problem only duplicate the problem. One works very hard to get rid of some way of being or feeling—the hidden essence of which, in the first place, is some impossible attempt to get rid of some part of oneself that needs integrating. One works hard to arrange and organize oneself, all the time missing the fact that what is really wrong is one's tendency to arrange and organize instead of allowing genuine motivation to rise up in oneself"

In this course for advanced Focusers, we will take our time with a life topic that might be persistent, slowly getting to know it from the Felt Sense knowing, holding the "all of that" of the problem, really honing the little bodily steps and looking for fresh possibilities of action that comes from them.

Topics

  • Sharing a topic/issue/problem without sharing the content - "having it" in the space of you with another person"
  • Everything I "know" about this persistent life topic of mine, and where does it seem to show up in my life?
  • Why stay with something over time, and what might be in the way of that?
  • Sensing and getting to know the different parts, places and "somethings" involved and the relationship between those - the power of AND
  • The “all of that” and “the more” as opposed to the seeming solutions we so far "know" about
  • "The space of not knowing" and "letting something come"
  • Becoming aware of, making space for, and fully enjoying the tiniest little changes
  • The “me”, the "having" of this problem/topic/issue, and resources around you
  • Time – time pressure, and what is time, really?

Teaching methods:

  • Writing and drawing exercises
  • Theoretical sharings and reflections
  • Demonstrations
  • Group discussions and process sharings (not content sharing)
  • Partnership in class
