Focusing

Developed by Eugene Gendlin, Focusing is an intuitive process of receiving insight and guidance from your "felt sense," or your body's experiential wisdom. It is an opportunity to feel more grounded and alive, to explore the meaningful depths of your experiences, and to draw on your inner resources for healing and growth.
