In this two-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and use felt sense body cards in your Focusing practice.
Felt sense body cards (body cards for short) are a way of capturing our Focusing experiences—whether a whole session, or we can use multiple body cards to capture sections of a session. This can be how the felt sense was at the beginning, and then how the felt sense was after the felt shift. Or we can capture different parts of our personality with a body card.
One hour Q & A meeting with Charlotte Howorth. Charlotte will take you through the contents and format of her one-year course leaving time for your questions.

This webinar is intended for therapists and helping professionals who have knowledge of Focusing, though all are welcome to attend.
