Your Path to Lasting Change

9 – 18 week Live, Online Inner Relationship Focusing Training Program

Are you looking for a long-term solution that really works to bring greater happiness, clarity, and self-acceptance?

We know you want more out of life…To be able to embrace the day. To experience acceptance and joy in your relationships. To find purpose and fulfillment in your work, and life. With our in-depth training program, you’ll come away with skills to support you in any part of your life: your relationships, your career, your community, and beyond.

You can be the hero in your life’s story. Let us be your guide…Join us for our live, online program where you’ll learn the Inner Relationship Focusing process.

This course is required in order to take our advanced courses.

Both of these options will help you get to know Focusing. Take either or both!

If you’re brand new to Focusing and want to get an idea of how it can help you, give our free e-course a try.

Keep Calm & Carry On? Doesn’t Work, Does It?

It absolutely doesn’t work to try to stuff our feelings and impose calm. “Get over it.” “Think lovely thoughts.” All those positive thinking methods share the same problem: they ignore what is so.

Wouldn’t you like to be able to be calm and cool…no matter what’s going on? The secret is to get bigger.

Sign up for our free e-course and get helpful ways to feel more empowered, calmer, and better able to handle whatever life brings you (in less than 10 minutes a day!).

Our on-demand course, SHIFT, is another great option to learn Inner Relationship Focusing. Available at your convenience, from anywhere you can connect to the internet.

Ann Weiser Cornell

SHIFT

Interactive Video-based Training + Online Community

This program will teach you the Inner Relationship Focusing process and how to apply it to your daily life. Learn how to pause and get a larger sense of what’s happening in the moment, bring acceptance to the things you experience throughout your day (feelings, thoughts, etc), and apply the process of Focusing to inner critics, decisions, releasing blocks, and more.

Available at your convenience as soon as you register, from anywhere you can connect to the internet.

Going Further with Focusing

Once you’ve completed Your Path to Lasting Change, you’ll be able to use Focusing anywhere, anytime you need it to find your calm when the going gets tough. Your training will empower you to live life on your own terms: confidently, compassionately, and clearly.

And if you’d like to go further, for example, make a career out of Focusing, or just get continued support, we have additional courses and programs for you. Keep scrolling to see more in-depth programs for our Advanced Focusers.
