Are you ready to take your Inner Relationship Focusing skills to the next level?
Gain skill in guiding IRF sessions in a supportive environment, with classes, videos, live demonstrations and partnerships practices.
This IRF Part 3/4 (called PART 2 in this course) begins on September 19th. This course is particularly geared toward those in the helping and healing professions, providing space for questions and a Q and A for Practioners in the last class dedicated to integrating this work into your practice.
This series is designed to encourage us to live Gendlin's concept of "crossing" in a supportive community setting. This community is for those who often find themselves in situations of facilitating change for others, individuals and groups. It’s a great option for those who are looking for a community-based path toward certification, for those who do not need certification, and also works well if you are already certified.
This Learning Community is a year-long program meeting twenty times every other week for 1.5 hours. This course/community is a lovely supportive space to continue learning with other advanced Focusers or to pursue certification at your own pace as a Focusing Professional or Trainer with TIFI.
You may be familiar with a habitual background atmosphere of restlessness, anxiousness, agitation, or something like that.

We can invite and gradually build new patterns in our autonomic nervous system and brain. In doing so, we change our spontaneous physical, emotional and mental responses to life’s occurrences.

We are a continuity in change, where a process-oriented focus is guiding a handling of nearly everything: methods, theories, contents, and relationships. Gene Gendlin emphasised the core of the whole undertaking in moving towards the unknown in myself - the Murky Edge as the crucial point of reference. After Gene Gendlin’s work was discovered by the Buddhist community in North America, a well known challenge emerges: Spiritual Bypassing.
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.
