Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy: What is it?

A Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapist (FOT) is a psychotherapist, counselor or psychologist, licensed in their jurisdiction, who, in addition to their therapy training, has completed a certification program specializing in integrating Focusing into therapy.  In FOT, the client is invited to notice how their body makes feelings about their life issues, and they are helped to gently access what the body says about what they are experiencing.

The richness of felt sensing and of an interaction that allows carrying forward in therapy
This Program is designed specifically for therapists and counselors who want to enrich and take their work with clients a step further with Focusing and get their FOT Certification from TIFI. Other people who work with clients in different ways and want to enhance their work are also welcome to attend. (Even though they would not apply for FOT Certification)
It is an ongoing course of 1 1/2 hours every other week, on Tuesdays, that  can be taken independently or as part of the whole Certification Program.

The way we work with our clients reflects the relational and embodied nature of our mind process.
In this course, you study how the bodily felt sense emerges in the context of interaction and explore the physicality of our relational patterns.
You do this experientially as you practice creatively using embodied experience to harness the transformative power of Integrative Focusing.

With Integrative Focusing, the goal of lasting change is not separate from how we work to achieve it.
