Amona Buechler, Focusing Trainer Nervous System Reset
After accidents, certain neurological illnesses, or emotionally challenging incidences, the autonomic nervous system can get stuck in repetitive patterns, overreacting to specific cues. This challenges our health, well-being, sense of safety and connection, and our creative potential.

Felt sense body cards example Annette Dubreuil
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.

Como el Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI), estamos conectados y nos preocupamos profundamente por las personas de ambos lados de la frontera entre Gaza e Israel. Todos sufren las decisiones de los líderes políticos que eligen la violencia como medio para resolver el conflicto. Muchos de nosotros sentimos la necesidad de expresar nuestro deseo de justicia y paz y el derecho a vivir sin violencia ni el miedo a la violencia. Muchos de nosotros simplemente necesitamos expresar nuestro dolor y buscar señales de esperanza, para ser parte de alguna manera en la

A discussion group around the theme of Focusing Oriented Supervision for people already offering this, wanting to start and therapists who have an interest in Focusing oriented Supervision. Not a Supervision group per se, but a group considering with Focusing Oriented Supervision could bring to us as therapists and humans and how we'd like to see this area develop.

Smartview Stories, Learning the language of Focusing based on Neuroscience Sandy Jahmi Burg, 2019
Creating Space for Community is a bi-monthly gathering to explore concepts around inner/outer community building, belonging and thriving.

These webinars are FREE to attend. We utilize neuroscience concepts to become more familiar with how a deeper understanding of the natural division of our brain into left and right hemispheres can enhance our Focusing skills.

Our November theme looks more at positive resources that guide us away from communities that are not right for us. Note we will be meeting Sunday during the day which works well for European time zones.

In November, we are inviting a passion or dedication in your life that saved you from communities that were not a fit for you. Niko will share his story about how his dedication to

對使用中文的聚焦愛好者而言,這個課程有可能是你最容易進入TAE世界的選擇之一。
TAE的十四步驟中,無可置疑的,第一階段(1-5步驟)是最基礎及最能和聚焦接軌的部份。
只要學會這五步驟,可能會對你的聚焦有明顯的幫助。
在這裡,深感中形成的字詞以不同面向、多維度的擴展,使我們的心靈擺脫慣性的侷限,也跳出通用語言的限制。
這進一步實現了聚焦的願景,擴展了我們的心靈世界。

Cafecitos logo The International Focusing Institute Paula Travaglini Florentina Sassoli
Estar en PRESENCIA, implica establecer una relación de respeto y apertura hacia lo que sientes, sin tratar de cambiarlo o juzgarlo. Es una invitación a escuchar y honrar tu experiencia en su totalidad. Te invito a explorar la importancia y los beneficios de llevar presencia y hacer una pausa en tu vida.

Esta serie brinda un espacio para conectar miembros hispanohablantes del Instituto Internacional de Focusing (TIFI). Es un espacio para aprender y expandir el conocimiento sobre Focusing y temas relacionados. El concepto de "Cafecitos" viene de la idea de estar en la casa de un amigo/a y conversar tomándose un café.
