The Radical Acceptance of Everything:
Living A Focusing Life
|
"I'd like to thank you for your book, The Radical Acceptance of Everything.
I have been reading books on Focusing for few months now, and I have to say that your book is very very rich. I love everything in it, all the articles, and was deeply moved by the personal stories that you shared in it. and also Barbara's contribution, accepting the part in her that wants to die, her rawness brought some tears. And the chapters on questioning questions, the rules on how to be a good listener...
I think I have never found any other tool as powerful as Focusing for accepting everything that comes in me (except meditation, but the process is very similar), accepting them in their state, raw or ugly, fully, the way I experience them, without trying to process them to make them more acceptable. (that has been my tendency)- and eventually to be present for others as well. I personally like the story of the dog which spoke to me deeply.”
“I loved your new book. I gobbled it right up and have even reread parts – something I rarely do!! It really did help me to fill in the gaps in my knowledge about how your process has differed from classic Focusing. I am an utter convert! As I work with the slow and gentle steps inherent in IR work and with the mental maps of the inner terrain, I find it is helping immensely in my own stuck places and in guiding
others.”

by Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD and featuring Barbara McGavin (Calluna Press; 2005)
For more than 30 years, Ann Weiser Cornell has been exploring, teaching, and writing about the mysteries of emotional process, including the paradox of how we become more whole by acknowledging our parts, how the most despised places in us contain our greatest treasure, and how the body’s felt sense, held in a compassionate state of Presence, is the key to change.
Now her key writings have been brought together in one place, freshly edited for this volume, with four new articles offering Ann’s latest leading edge work. All are accessible to both the seeker of personal change and the professional who wants to be more effective working with others.
Praise For This Book: “Ann Weiser Cornell has been teaching for many years in many countries and is well known worldwide. In her previous book and her manuals she has created new specific and accessible instructions for Focusing as well as for the teachers of Focusing. In person and through her students and writings she has given Focusing to far more people than any other single individual. She is a powerful force in making the world better. She has gone on to create different new processes in new dimensions, which are included in this book.”
“I have always had a lot of respect for Focusing but saw a gap between it and Internal Family Systems in terms of appreciation of the multiplicity of the mind and qualities of Self. In this intriguing collection of articles, Ann Weiser Cornell describes in a very personal and readable way her groundbreaking journey with her colleague Barbara McGavin that narrows the gap. I endorse their resulting approach heartily and embrace them as kindred spirits on this road toward the radical acceptance of everything.”
“No one teaches or explains Focusing with more beauty, grace or clarity than Ann Weiser Cornell. The Radical Acceptance of Everything does more than explain profound concepts simply and beautifully: from the very first page, it invokes the very state of Presence that it describes. Whether you are a beginning Focuser or have been Focusing for years, The Radical Acceptance of Everything is sure to deepen and enrich your Focusing experience.”
