I’m Ready to Sign Up How This Will Help You

Empower yourself to do Focusing any time and anywhere you need to, whether a partner is available or not…

Focusing Alone was hard for me, too…

If you’re struggling to use Focusing on your own, you’re not the only one!

I couldn’t focus alone very well when I first learned Focusing, and then I didn’t even try for years and years. My partnership sessions were all the Focusing I had. But one day I had to do Focusing and there were no partners around!

I was on my first whitewater rafting trip. During the early part of the day my raft flipped over, and I had a scary dunk in the river.

Later, we had a 20-minute walk while the guides carried our rafts around a waterfall. I realized that the thought of getting back in my raft terrified me. But there weren’t any other choices — we were far from civilization, with no roads in or out. I had to get back in the raft — but I couldn’t.

So, on that 20-minute walk, I did Focusing, all by myself, with the part that was scared to get back in the raft.

I said “something in me is terrified” — and felt it in my body and said Hello to it. Then, I listened to what scared it so much. What I learned surprised me. It wasn’t that I had fallen in the river. It was the motion of the raft itself. The bumpy up-and-down was like turbulence on an airplane that this part of me really hated. When I realized what this part of me was so afraid of, and I let it know I heard it, the scared feeling lessened. I was able to get back on the raft…and even have a good time for the rest of the day.

From that day on, I realized that Focusing alone was important.

I made it my goal to learn from people who Focused alone successfully. I learned so much! The result: a whole array of methods that help and support solo Focusing. It’s great to have a Focusing partner — and it’s great to have Focusing whenever and however you need it.

Do Focusing alone when you:

  • Need more time than a partner can give you
  • Want to do Focusing late at night or super-early in the morning
  • Get emotionally triggered and need some Focusing right now

You know how great Focusing is! Being able to do Focusing alone multiplies the times when Focusing can bring you relief and transformation.

I hope you’ll allow me to be a companion on your journey to successful solo Focusing. I’d love to show you how to be able to do Focusing, whenever you need it.

What People Are Saying

My Focusing alone is much richer

“Before the course, I felt dependent on Focusing with a partner. Now, my Focusing alone is much richer. I am no longer dependent on a partner to build a relationship with my deeper feelings and intuitions. And now I do Focusing very regularly which gives me a feeling of coming home to myself.”
Adam de Jong

I trust myself more

“I had difficulty Focusing deeply without a companion. There were always lots of distractions. Now I trust myself more. I feel a lot more capable of accepting where I am and I can be with myself regardless of what shows up (even when Focusing alone). This course helped me collect the tools that made me realize I have the capability to connect with the forward movement of my life.”
M.G.

I feel more confident when Focusing Alone

“Before the course, my biggest challenge was feeling confident during the Focusing process when I was on my own. Now, I feel more confident when Focusing Alone and use it regularly. This gives me more freedom because I’m no longer dependent on a Focusing partner. The course broadened my repertoire and I’m more patient staying with blocks and the many thoughts in my mind without criticizing myself.”
Hannelore

There’s less sensation of things being ‘too much

“Before the Focusing Alone course, my biggest challenge was getting in contact with my emotions. It left me feeling a never-ending sadness. Now, because I have a consistent way to access my felt senses, I have space for more emotions than before. There’s less fatigue and less sensation of things being ‘too much.‘”
C.Z.
