Welcome! Here’s a bit of information to help get you started.

“How would you like to set aside all the attempts to explain, defend, or fix what’s broken or wounded in yourself and experience real healing? We have it in us to be whole, and Inner Relationship Training is a profound and gentle step in that direction.” — Colin Berg, Path to Lasting Change Student

Answers to FAQs

  • All of these programs are great for people with no self-help or therapy experience (and they’re also great for people who are further along in their personal-growth journey).
  • To learn the Inner Relationship Focusing process: Take SHIFT or Your Path to Lasting Change.
  • To take our advanced offerings, including our Certification as a Focusing Professional program, you must complete Your Path to Lasting Change.
  • Focusing Partnership: Focusing partnership is what makes it easy to keep doing the IRF as long as you need it. We’ll show you how to support another person in the Focusing process, and also how to receive that support. During Focusing partnership, your partner simply listens to you without judgment or agenda. The presence of a person who is completely neutral and accepting has an almost magical effect! And you’ll learn how to give that same level of presence to your Focusing partner. Focusing partnership is calming for both people.

Focusing is an awareness process – something you do internally – that is based on the idea that a certain kind of body sense called a “felt sense” can help us discover and follow the best next steps of our life.
