Focusing with Difficult Feelings
(depression, anxiety, obsession, terror, dissociation, disorientation, rage)

A 3 person 3 hour (3p3h) Workshop: $125

In the 3p 3h workshops each person receives a 1:1 focusing session for 30 minutes. After each session there is discussion of the focusing process, not of the person, not of the content. You learn about focusing from experiencing it and seeing it 'in action'. To join this workshop, you can be at any level of focusing or you can be a novice.

The workshop on Focusing with Difficult Feelings shows you how to work with feelings which can disrupt the normal, promising focusing process.

For example acute or even low grade depression, can start bringing you down when you feel it. Anxiety may accelerate and interrupt the process. Obsession may take over and you are obsessing rather than focusing. Terror may take over and block you from finding your felt sense. Dissociation may leave you a mess, unable to continue focusing. Disorientation may take you away from the issues you want and need to work on. Rage may overwhelm the delicate process of focusing.

With these kinds of difficult feelings you will learn to put great emphasis on the APPROACH. An entire focusing session or even many sessions can be only on HOW TO APPROACH one of these difficult things.

At the beginning of the workshop, I will lay out a PROTOCOL and its different possibilities. Then, in each session, we will notice the use of the protocols, and their adaptation to the individual and the context. These protocols can be used in your focusing partnership sessions if you have the training to do those.

For people who are relatively new to focusing, using these protocols can make the difference between finding a lifelong friend in focusing, and dropping the whole process.

The 3p3h Workshop is A New Concept in Workshops
These workshops:
*emphasize individual attention
*form easily especially if you find another person you know to come
*are often adaptable in relation to time and day if you have a 2 people wanting a time
*can expand to 4person|4hour (4p4h) without changing the fee ($125)

Share Focusing with a Friend
For someone new to focusing, these workshops are the best short introduction to focusing which I have found. Moreover, the format is very compatible with people from all different levels being mixed together. So bring a colleague or a friend and share focusing!
