Your Path to Lasting Change
The Inner Relationship Focusing Program
with
The Healing Professionals Track
As a therapist, coach, or healing professional, you hold space for transformation every day. You help people navigate their emotions, uncover hidden patterns, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
But sometimes, words alone aren’t enough. Sometimes, healing needs something deeper—something felt.
That’s where Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) comes in.
What is Inner Relationship Focusing?
IRF is a gentle, body-centered way of working with emotions.
It helps people slow down, turn inward, and truly listen to what’s happening beneath the surface. When clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, IRF offers a path forward—not by analyzing, but by being with their experience in a new way.
Over 50 research studies have linked Focusing to positive therapeutic outcomes, including greater emotional regulation, deeper self-acceptance, and more meaningful relationships. It’s a practice that helps people move beyond repeating the same stories and into a more authentic, embodied experience of healing.

Why Bring Inner Relationship Focusing Into Your Work?
Many clients struggle with emotions that feel too big, too distant, or too tangled.
Maybe they talk about their feelings without really feeling them. Maybe they get caught in cycles of self-judgment. Maybe they’re carrying old pain that won’t let go.
By incorporating IRF into your practice, you can:
Assist those who feel disconnected from their emotions, struggle with self-criticism, or feel stuck in their lives.
Guide clients who are overwhelmed by intense feelings or who discuss emotions without truly experiencing them.
Support clients dealing with depression, addictions, and trauma-related effects.
And as a practitioner, it helps you hold space in an even deeper way.
You’ll learn to attune to what’s beneath the words, offer reflections that help clients go further, and bring a greater sense of ease and presence into your sessions.

How IRF Has Helped Healing Professionals Like You
“Before Focusing Training, I didn’t have a way to teach my coaching clients how to move through uncomfortable emotions and that left me feeling impotent, pushy, and unprepared. Now, I have a method to show my clients the power of going inward in a safe, gentle way. We often think that change has to be difficult or challenging, but Focusing has taught me it can be gentle and beautiful. The secret of Focusing is realizing you don’t have to change anything–you can just be with your emotions as they are.”
~ Natalie Bryant
“Ann Weiser Cornell approaches Focusing with both moment-by-moment sensitivity and years of depth. This is one of the most profound therapeutic techniques of which I am aware, and may even be said to be the basis of all good therapy.”
~ Jeffrey Mishlove, author of The Roots of Consciousness and host of TV and radio show Thinking Allowed
