At Focusing Resources, we believe that every person deserves greater self acceptance, better emotional balance, and more satisfying relationships.

We believe that learning Focusing will bring you skills that will vastly improve your quality of life.

We believe that if everyone were to learn this simple skill, the world would be a calmer, clearer, better place, so we’ve made learning Focusing possible for those anywhere, anytime, and in any economic situation.

Focusing is a way of tapping into your vast emotional intelligence through the messages of your body. With Focusing, you return to a source of knowing that has always belonged to you. Focusing gives you direct access to your own inner compass, where you know the right direction for your life. Focusing works because life naturally wants to move forward and find new possibilities. Sometimes we get stuck because we get cut off from that natural life forward energy.

You learn Focusing for yourself – as a process you can use any time you need it, in stressful times, in challenging relationships, to transform frozen patterns and beliefs, for emotional and physical healing, any time.

Focusing is simple, natural, and in a way also revolutionary – because you are learning to trust your own inner knowing instead of relying on other people’s opinions.

Focusing can be used to address a wide array of issues. Is this you? When we feel upset and agitated, we typically turn to our intellect to solve the problem. This works well… until it doesn’t. Life’s toughest problems, especially those involving emotions and other people, can’t be solved this way. Do you feel stuck? Like you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked? It’s not that there’s something wrong with you, it’s that the way our culture is set up leaves us cut off from our bodies, a powerful source of wisdom. If you suffered traumatic experiences or come from a dysfunctional family, that makes it even harder to stay in touch with yourself.

With Focusing, you bypass the intellectualization and go directly to where you have a deep body-knowing about the situation. What is this body-knowing?  It is the internal wisdom which we tend to ignore. Our bodies are able to sum up a whole situation into a special kind of experience called a felt sense. Felt senses are fresh; they look ahead; they are about what’s needed. When you learn Focusing, you learn how to get felt senses, be with them, and listen. From there, your whole life can change.

Focusing can be difficult to learn on your own. Ann was one of many who benefited from the help of Focusing teachers, groups, and partners. Her experience led her to set up the Focusing Training Program. It’s the most affordable, efficient, and effective way to teach you how to use Focusing in every situation where you need it.

We offer courses online and in person. Find out when our next class starts and get on your way to learning Focusing!
