Beatrice Blake first learned about Focusing in 1989, and became a Certified Focusing Trainer in 2000.
In 2004, she went on to study Thinking at the Edge and the Philosophy of the Implicit with its founder, Eugene Gendlin, as well as with Kye Nelson, Nada Lou and Evelyn Fendler-Lee. She became a Certifying Coordinator with The International Focusing Institute in 2011.
Beatrice loves sharing TAE with people all over the world. She leads small, lively online TAE classes for Focusers who partner with each other throughout the course. She recently developed a self-guided video TAE course that includes short lectures and demonstrations of each step, Nada Lou’s videos of Gene Gendlin going through each step are coordinated with the course, with commentaries that are meant to be helpful to people new to TAE.
Beatrice and fellow Coordinator Marta Fabregat are partners in New Paradigm, a three-year Focusing training program that includes TAE.
Beatrice says: “Focusing is the birthright of human beings. I envision a world in which children are raised to be open to their felt sense of situations and parents know how to trust and listen to their own felt sense.”
