In this 8-week group, you will use Focusing to transform a significant issue in your life, in part by deepening your access to Self through the 8Cs of Self-Leadership. The 8Cs are calmness, connectedness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage and creativity.

By crossing these qualities with our issue, we move through it by pausing, understanding the issue, transforming it, and then preparing for action, and finally taking action.

Your issue can be working towards a personal or professional goal. However, the course is designed in such a way that you can also bring a different topic each week to your Focusing, and concentrate on building your 8Cs which help you live as your Self more often.

Focusing Praktijk Hester Wijenberg Hester Wijenberg BasisTraining Focusing Hester Wijenberg
In deze live 3-daagse training leer je de basis vaardigheden van Focusing, zoals het naar binnen gaan en wat de stappen zijn in een focusing proces. Je gaat afstemmen en ruimte maken, leert de focussende houding, en gaat contact te leggen met een lijflijk ervaarbaar gevoel. Je leert hoe je bij moeilijke gevoelens kunt blijven en wat er gebeurt als je erdoor overspoeld raakt of ze te ver van je af houdt. Je gaat ook oefenen in tweetallen.

People Holding Hands Yehudit First
At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.

In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.
