A Taste of Interactive Focusing

Monday, April 8, 2019
An Online Class Facilitated by Masumi Maeda and Tine Swyngedouw

Part of The Focusing Highlights Series


This Focusing Highlight will show the power of adding interaction to Focusing. It enhances deeper self-understanding, empathically understanding others, and the feeling of connection between partners.

In this webinar, participants will gain an understanding of the framework and view a demonstration of all the steps of Interactive Focusing. You will learn how it differs from Focusing, particularly the step called "The Double Empathic Moment", which is a feature characteristic of Interactive Focusing. There will also be experiential exercises.

Since Interactive Focusing has earned a good reputation as a very effective method for empathic listening skill training, we invite not only professionals such as therapists, career counselors, teachers, and care givers, but also everybody with a basic knowledge of Focusing to participate in this webinar. All are welcome.

Both presenters will speak English slowly and use easy to understand terms.
