Description:

This experiential workshop will begin with a guided silent meditation. Gendlin will work with volunteers from the audience to show how to find “Focusing.” The physically felt body sense of a problem is at first unclear and gradually opens and becomes clear. There will be discussion and demonstrations to show how Focusing is used in the context of psychotherapy.

Educational Objectives:

1. Given a case, describe when someone can access a bodily sense of a problem, and when they cannot.
2. To describe and use several ways (from among many) to help a person find a bodily sense if it is not there and the person cannot elicit one.
