Focusing, developed by Gene Gendlin, is a approach in which an 
individual uses a "focusing attitude" of openness and compassion to 
monitor the “felt sense” or internal sensation of an issue or problem 
and follow 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 
awaken to new options.  	Focusing is usually done in partnerships with 
the listener offering a friendly, interested, non-judgemental attention 
to the focuser's process.
