I learned Focusing as part of my client-centered psychotherapy schooling in Germany, but left the country before the powers in charge could decide on a suitable test for psychotherapists working as alternative healers. In the US, I went through the full series of Focusing classes offered by Ann Weiser Cornell and was certified by the International Focusing Institute. Since I retired from my job, I am living in the Sierra Nevada. I spend quite some time with creating ceramic items and being a volunteer at Calaveras Big Trees State Park - a walk under the Giant Sequoias is a wonderful lead-in for a Focusing session!
