Getting Free: A Year of Untangling
1-Year Live, Online Program for Advanced Focusers
Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin developed the Untangling® method over more than 25 years of research into what really works when facing impossibly tough life issues.
Their own inner work, as well as their work with clients, made them rethink everything they knew about trauma and change… and Focusing. Combined with their deep study of Gendlin’s ground-breaking Philosophy of the Implicit, the result was Untangling® – a powerful set of processes to untangle any Tangle.
Our next program starts in 2024
