“Focusing: The Second Year became as vital a part of my ongoing development as a Focusing companion and guide as going through Levels 1-4 and eventually becoming a Certified Focusing Professional. It allowed me to explore crucial elements such as Wanting and Not Wanting, the ability to Hold it All during regular sessions, and to find my way into a more nuanced and flexible relational approach to my on-going focusing partnerships. It provided a steady, enriching, and caring conversation each week with the Inner Relationship focusing community, as well as a chance to have Ann’s wisdom and feedback regularly. The longer lasting nature of this class also meant it was possible and practical to try out and refine various aspects of Focusing with my students and clients, and –maybe even more important– to integrate focusing more fully into all my personal life.”
