Psychotherapy Central Somatic Therapy That Works: A Practical Guide to Focusing
In this episode of Psychotherapy Central, I take you inside one of the most powerful somatic tools I’ve ever encountered: Focusing, developed by philosopher and psychologist Eugene Gendlin.
If you’ve ever had a tightness in your chest, a lump in your throat, or a gut feeling that held more than words—you’ve already touched the edge of the felt sense. Focusing helps you go deeper.
Together, we’ll explore:
-
What the felt sense really is (and what it’s not)
-
The six simple steps of Focusing
-
Why Focusing is so effective in trauma healing
-
How to build a new, safe relationship with your body
-
Common questions people ask when starting this practice
Whether you’re a therapist or on your own healing journey, this episode gives you both insight and practice. I’ve also created a free guided audio to help you try Focusing for yourself (details below).
