What is Focusing?

​Focusing is a simple yet powerful, supportive way of being with what we are feeling and sensing.

By turning our attention to the sensations and feelings held in the body we can learn to accept them for what they are without getting caught up in them or overwhelmed.

As we learn to bring acceptance and compassionate curiosity to these inner places, it allows them to open up and gives us more possibilities for new ways to move forward and life life more fully.

​"Liz's focusing workshops have given me a new way to access parts of myself I both did and did not know were present. Parts of these workshops have been incredibly moving and all of the workshops have given me new understandings, both theoretical, practical and personal. I would recommend Liz's focusing levels for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, as a starting point for anyone who wishes to make focusing part of their career. She combines theory and practice in a way that makes sense and I have very much enjoyed my experience with Liz".

What will you Learn?

In Level One, you will begin to learn to Focus. You will start to notice inner feelings and experiences without becoming overwhelmed by them.

You will learn how to listen to your inner self with compassion and acceptance. You will begin to learn to guide yourself in sensing your inner body knowing and to start to trust this wisdom.

You will also begin to learn how to support someone else in the Focusing process.

The workshop will introduce you to the work of Eugene Gendlin, Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin.
​

How You will Learn

​​The workshops provide the opportunity to work in a small group (usually no more than 6 people). The approach is to learn to Focus in a step by step way. 

​There will be short information sessions followed by the opportunity to try out and experience that step of Focusing, one to one with another group member. 

The pace is gentle and there is plenty of time for discussion about what you are discovering and experiencing.

My aim is always to create a safe learning space and each participant is free to decide what feels right for them at each stage of the workshop.

For each Level you will receive a course booklet which summarises all the information covered in that level.​

​‘I loved how each level built on the previous level’ ‘Liz was patient and explained theory with examples’ ‘there was plenty of time to ask questions and discuss personal experiences of focusing’ ‘I felt comfortable in the learning environment ‘.
