Each One of Us Has a Fire In Our Heart for Something.
It is Our Goal in Life to Find it and Keep it Lit
Mary Lou Retton
The something I have a fire in my heart for is supporting people on their journey of personal growth.
I feel privileged to be able to accompany someone and witness the opening up that happens as a person comes to know the uniqueness within themselves and recognise the possibilities of moving towards all they are capable of becoming
For me the essence of Focusing is learning to form a compassionate relationship with all of ourselves. To be able to be present to our inner places without being overwhelmed by, or distancing ourselves from our feelings and the parts of ourselves which we perhaps don't like or feel a little ashamed of. Focusing takes the view that the Inner Knowing of the Focuser already knows what is needed by the whole being and the work of Focusing is to allow that to actually be heard. Too often we have learned to ignore or dismiss those parts of ourselves that have that knowing. Focusing allows us to reconnect with them The focuser is the expert on themselves. The role of the Focusing Pratictioner is to support the focuser in their exploration, to learn to be present to themselves, listen to their Felt Sense and form the inner relationship with their parts from a place of calm interested curiosity |

Other Ways to Take Focusing Forward

It is fine to continue to have Focusing sessions with a Focusing Practitioner if that is what you want to do. There are however other ways of taking Focusing forward, you don't need to work with a Practioner to do this.
You can join a British Focusing Association Skills Course. The BFA skills course is 10 days learning taught in 5 levels. I offer each level as a 2 day face to face workshop. Details of events I have planned are on the Workshops page. There are a number of Focusing trainers in the UK offering this course, some offer the course on line. Details of planned events can be found on the BFA Website.
You don't have to sign up to attend all 5 events at once, you can try it out and see how many levels you want to attend. You do however need to take the workshops in order.
The benefit of attending a BFA skills course is you learn not only to develop your own Focusing, but you also learn the skills of listening and accompanying someone who is Focusing. Learning to listen will help you guide and deepen your own Focusing practice.
Attending a Focusing skills course opens up the option of forming a Focusing Partnership. This is a peer partnership where you agree to set time aside to come together to Focus. Most Focusing partnerships are conducted by Skype or phone. How often you Focus and for how long are agreed with your Focusing Partner. The Focusing time is shared equally. People often form Focusing Partnerships with people they have met on a Focusing Skills event. You can also register to find a partner on the BFA website.
You can be in a Focusing partnership and also have sessions with a Focusing Practitioner if you want to do so.
The BFA website is a good place to find more information and details about Focusing workshops and we can talk about the options available if you want to take Focusing further
