COME TO YOUR SENSES.
Release yourself from the paralysis of analysis.
Begin your very own, unique and transforming journey into new ways of relating to yourself and to others through the practice
of Focusing and Embodied Listening.
Focusing is a simple yet powerful self-awareness technique that shows you how to Be With Yourself so that your own inner
FELT EXPERIENCE and inner knowing are revealed to you.
"Every bad feeling is potential energy toward
a more right way of being if you give it space
to move toward its rightness."
Eugene Gendlin (www.focusing.org)
Focusing guides you into witnessing your Felt Sense of an issue, situation, or problem in your life so that you can be
IN PRESENCE with the Whole Feel of It. By doing this, you get new, fresh information about it and the enjoyable relief that
comes with this.
This change in how you hold a situation enables you to move forward in your life process. The insights are quick and feel
good!
Focusing is enlightening, grounding, and empowering -- a gentle path of radical change.
"We all know we have feelings. What most of us don't
realize is that more than 50% of human knowledge is
learned from our body's ability to know, rather than
through our mind's ability to think."
(BioSpirituality at www.biospiritual.org)
I am a teacher of The Art of Focusing Partnership. You will learn how to Focus In and be with yourself in a respectful,
non-judgmental manner as you are listened to by a supportive, non-fixing other; who then focuses as you listen.
You will learn this new, egalitarian way of exchanging Focusing turns in a relaxed, step-by-step manner that minimizes
theory and gently guides you into your practical, experiential learning.
By clearing a space for yourself once a week and staying with your unfolding felt experience, you can shift out of stuck
areas in your life.
You will feel lighter, yet more grounded in yourself, as you gain clarity and insights that illuminate the action steps
you need to take to more fully become the person you have always wanted to be: yourself!
You will laugh, you will cry, you will be delightfully surprised. Focusing will also alleviate you of many fears and burdens
so that your life will become more...alive. You will gain self esteem and self confidence.
Best of all, you can relax. I will guide you at first. Teach you how to Focus In slowly, a little bit at a time, either
in a one-on-one session with me or through a workshop/class.
Here is what someone recently wrote about working with me:
"Her deeply-warm voice, the texture of good melted chocolate; her guiding presence like encircling arms-- firmly
there, yet spaciously allowing. Suzanne's listening helps what is in me to move and settle, finding its own right pace...As
the afternoon sun settles on my desk, my felt sense wakes up to the sounds of early morning Costa Rican birds on their plump
leaves. As I reflect on this experience of being guided into Focusing by Suzanne, what comes is a sweet, perfectly full,
Thank You."
(Catherine Johnson, Clinical Psychologist,
Accredited Focusing Trainer and Therapist)
After learning the art of focusing partnership, you will be able to exchange focusing turns with other Focusers you meet
along the way, and eventually have a focusing partnership with one or more persons who keep you safe company as you continue
your ever-more-fascinating journey into your own MORE, where your inner wisdom and serenity await.
This is what one student wrote after one session with me:
"I thought I was pretty good at getting answers from inside me, having used Reiki and EFT and TAT to do emotional
healing with great success over the years. But what I learned this morning, following on from my experience yesterday during
the session with Suzanne, is that my approach until today had lacked an incredibly important ingredient: compassion for the
part of me that was in pain. Instead my approach had unwittingly been "I'm going to do what I have to to make this go
away". What we resist persists, and when we can bring compassion to it, we are no longer resisting it, and it has the
possibility of simply melting away, as the pain did for me this morning.
Wow! This focusing is AMAZING!"
