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.

Decisions are opportunities. They are profound moments in which two (or more) sides of the self need to be honored and heard in order to move forward from wholeness. This is especially true of hard decisions that involve internal conflict.

When decisions seem to pull you apart, Inner Relationship Focusing can help you come back together again. Join us for At the Crossroads and discover the practical steps to making decisions with your whole self.

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.
We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain...

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.
