[Adta] intro to focusing - NYC

[Barbara Chutroo]

INTRODUCTION TO FOCUSING - SEPTEMBER
	In Sept., I'll be offering small, 2- session Introduction to Focusing 
groups for 3 - 5 people. The cost is $70 for two sessions. 	I've 
tentatively scheduled  Mondays,  Sept. 11 and 18 from 12 pm  to 2 pm, 
and Wednesdays, Sept. 19 and 26 from  6 pm  to 8 pm
	Sessions will be arranged at your convenience if three friends would 
like to meet at a given time.
.
	Focusing, developed by Gene Gendlin, is a approach in which the 
individual monitors the “felt sense” or internal sensation of an issue 
or problem and follows the body’s response to the words or images 
chosen to describe it.  When the right word or “handle”  is found, 
there occurs what Focusing defines as a “felt shift”:  a sense of 
movement or change that validates the selected phrase or image.  
Focusing is a dance between cognition and sensation.  Situations 
examined in this way, with the body and the thoughts in communion, 
gradually become clearer and options open up.    	Focusing is usually 
done in partnerships with the listener offering a friendly, interested 
attention to the focuser's process.   A focusing interaction has a 
clarity that facilitates communication and understanding.
	 Listening to someone with a focusing attitude is useful in any 
context and is particularly helpful with clients.

	I am a Certified Focusing Trainer, LCSW and dance/movement therapist.
