Self-paced course, time zones not applicable
Inner critics can be crushing, right? From paralyzing you with perfectionism to hurling shame-inducing words your way, they know how to hurt you.
It might surprise you to hear that inner critics actually have good intentions. They’re really just trying to save your life (I promise!). They mean well. But they’re afraid of what might happen if you ____. And the only way those voices know how to defend you leaves you feeling terrible.
Join me for Finding Freedom From Inner Critics and find a new way to relate to the negative, shaming voice in your head.

簡德林博士的內隱哲學有兩大實踐：
聚焦(Focusing)和邊緣思考(Thinking At the Edge)。
聚焦的可貴之處是我們願意投入錯綜複雜的深感裡頭，體會內隱豐富的心靈寶藏，以取得令人意外且興奮的新發現。
但是，當我們試圖解釋其中獨特的經驗和內隱知識時，會注意到現有的概念有時行不通。TAE步驟提供一個新的明在化表達方式，以便經歷並揭露“體驗的複雜性”。通過具體的步驟讓它們能從深感中出現，連結深感來核對並找到貼切的字詞。
TAE讓我們可以輕易的擴展字詞且擺脫慣常假設的限制；也脫離了既有定義概念的束縛。新生成的字詞可以指出無法用其他方式表達經驗的各個側面。
從相關情況中我們可以發現新的關係，然後進行概括。這些事例支持 TAE 的思維方式，其中隱含的複雜性繼續在我們所表達的內容中發揮作用。
在新生成的句子中，我們可以找到並分離出新術語，這些術語本身在其內部呈現出新模式。這便成為一種既符合邏輯又符合經驗的理論起點。

QU’EST-CE QUE LE FOCUSING RELATIONNEL
Le Focusing est un processus somatique, d’écoute intérieure, permettant de mettre en valeur la bienveillance envers soi et envers les autres. Il nous enseigne d’abord à reconnaître et à nommer ce qui nous habite, afin d’avoir accès au mouvement qui facilite les avancées dans notre expérience. Il se pratique d’abord pour soi et demande une intégration personnelle. Il se pratique ensuite en relation avec les autres sous forme de partage et d’écoute et dans différents processus de groupe. Le Focusing est un langage universel du fait que tous les êtres humains peuvent ressentir et guider leur vie et leurs actions à partir de ce qu’ils ressentent.
