Ich laufe davor weg, und ich glaube, es ist eine gute Sache, dies anzuerkennen und zuzulassen.

Denken wir Maschinen als etwas, was komplett von uns selbst abgetrennt ist, oder als etwas, was mit uns verbunden ist?

Discovering Gendlin's Focusing at 90 with Julie Friedeberger This celebrates EPISODE 50 of The Living Process as well as Gendlin's 100th anniversary. Julie shares her life story, including her Jewish heritage and the history of persecution of her family, her husband's persecution during the Second World War and sharing this history with Gene Gendlin and his escape to America. Julie worked on the original research with Gendlin in the late 1950s and was a client in that research. She discusses her move to England, and her dedication to teaching and writing about Yoga. Julie also talks about the challenges of her own cancer and caring for her husband with dementia, which took years to recover from. Therapy and Focusing played a significant role in her recovery. At 90, Julie rediscovered Gene's work and began guided Focusing sessions, now pursuing practitioner training. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Gene's 100th anniversary, Julie's life story, and the 50th episode of The Living Process.

Followup Episode with Dana Ganihar and Baruch Brenner. ... Wisdom Beyond Steps. Episode 47 of The Living Process with Greg Madison. Delighted to invite Dana and Baruch back for a followup conversation discussing their rich crossing of the Kabbalistic wisdom tradition with Focusing and Gendlin's philosophy in A Process Model. There was an alarm near the beginning so we had to pause the recording until it was safe to continue. Together we explore what we might be missing when we only use Focusing for a specific life situation. Dana and Baruch emphasise that Focusing also offers a pathway into something deeper about who we are as human beings, opening into the mystery of what life is. They say ‘You are the carrying forward of life' and this offers Focusing practice that transcends the interpersonal and psychological sphere. You will hear some divergence in our views, which I hope to be able to explore further!

Indigenous Therapy with Focusing, with Shirley Turcotte. The Living Process with Greg MadisonEpisode 40 of The Living Process features special guest Shirley Turcotte. Shirley developed and spread a very successful integration of Aboriginal cultural practices and Gendlin's Focusing process. In our conversation we touch upon the importance of a relational view that includes the ongoing support of relatives and ancestors and the significance of nature and the environment. Shirley introduces the depth of experience of Aboriginal trauma and genocide and how to respectfully work with such immense issues in a therapeutic context.

Avez-vous déjà ressenti un pincement persistant dans le ventre, sans raison apparente? Cet inconfort semble vouloir exprimer quelque chose, mais la signification demeure floue. Selon l'approche du Focusing, développée par Eugene T. Gendlin, psychologue humaniste, il s'agit d'un Felt Sense — que l'on peut traduire par ressenti corporel. Ce ressenti corporel est beaucoup plus subtil qu'une émotion. Il se situe à la frontière du conscient et de l'inconscient. Le corps sait; il possède une sagesse propre et il cherche à communiquer avec nous. La plupart d'entre nous avons tendance à ignorer ces messages. À l'inverse, l'approche thérapeutique de Gendlin invite à les écouter et à les utiliser pour accéder à une vérité enfouie. Il a ainsi mis au point une méthode en six étapes permettant d'entrer en dialogue avec notre corps. En conclusion, prêter attention à ces signaux subtils, c'est s'offrir une chance de mieux se comprendre et d'avancer avec plus de justesse. Dans cet épisode, je vous propose de découvrir comment le Focusing peut transformer ces malaises diffus en clés précieuses pour clarifier vos choix et enrichir votre vie intérieure. Méthode en six mouvements: Installer l'espace intérieur Repérer le ressenti corporel Trouver une poignée (Handle) Entrer en dialogue Observer le déplacement Laisser émerger une piste pour un premier pas Ordre du jour 0m23: Introduction 11m17: Présentation du livre (Focusing) 15m19: Le ressenti corporel (Felt Sense) 18m43: Le focusing en 6 mouvements 35m40: Réflexions personnelles Pour encore plus de détails, consulte la page web de l'épisode.
Christiane is a long-standing teacher and therapist in the person-centred world and the international Focusing Community. In this conversation, we explore the early development of Focusing and how she and her colleagues formed a supportive group to learn it based on Gendlin's early teachings and their own empirical research. Christiane describes how initially Focusing only brought her to a state of ‘nothingness' until she learned to become interested in this particular state. She also distinguishes between the idea that felt sensing occurs ‘in' the body and a sense of a whole situation. We also discuss ‘structure-bound' processes and existential questions that arise at a particular life stage.

In this episode, we step into the world of boundaries — what they are, why they matter, and how they can transform our relationships with ourselves and others.We're joined by the brilliant Ann Weiser Cornell — American author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self‑inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin — for a conversation that deeply moved us (it even brought Gwen to tears!)If you've ever said ‘yes' when you meant ‘no', struggled to speak up for your needs, or wondered how boundaries and healing are connected — this episode is for you.We explore:How to actually feel what we want and need (and use that to make better decisions)Why our inner child — desperate to belong — still influences our people‑pleasingWhy Ann believes there's no such thing as being selfishWhy she chooses not to do what's merely convenient, but instead what truly mattersHow to say ‘no' without guilt (and still honour the other person)How setting healthy boundaries can be a huge part of trauma healingAnn has been teaching Focusing all over the world since 1980 and is one of its leading voices. She has written several definitive books and created transformative courses — including 21 Days to Better Boundaries and The Power of Focusing — and developed Inner Relationship Focusing, expanding on Gendlin's original work.More about Ann:Website: Focusing Resources - Inner Relationship FocusingBook & courses: 21 days to better boundaries 21 Days to Better BoundariesAnd here's a link to the Get Bigger Than What's Bugging You courseFor all RUMP info in one place: visit our linkt.ree Get a shout-out:Want a mention on the next RUMPette?

Meaning and the Intimate Moment with guest Russell Delman on The Living Process, episode 33 with host Greg Madison. In this episode Russell and I share another deep connection discussing the meaning of 'meaning' and what is the path of a meaningful life? In exploring this topic we touch on those moments in life where living itself feels like 'enough' and the intimate feeling of such moments. We also talk about the role of the physical body in these profound experiences, touching on Focusing, Zen practice and everyday living. Russell navigates the edge between Guided Inquiry, Feldenkrais, Zen meditation, and their integration into the practice of The Embodied Life, a learning programme offered by Russell and his wife Linda, influenced by over 50 years of immersion in these practices and his direct relationship with Feldenkrais, Gendlin, and principle teachers in the Zen tradition. Russell DelmanRussell Delman is a well-known and valued teacher within the disciplines of Zen Buddhist meditation and Feldenkrais. He is also known in the Focusing world as a unique embodiment practitioner who integrates all three of these practices in his international training of The Embodied Life. He and Gene Gendlin also shared a warm friendship and Focusing partnership for many years. Russell's exploration of the crucial importance of awareness in body/mind perspectives and psychology began in 1970. His subsequent journey included gestalt, yoga, the first Feldenkrais trainings, work at The Esalen Institute, Focusing, and many mind-body experiences and teachings.

AI and the process of thinking with Donata Schoeller. The Living Process with Greg Madison. Episode 32. This, 5th conversation with Donata, tackles the huge topic of AI - artificial intelligence, something that has now exploded into almost every area of human life. In our conversation, Donata stresses the importance of the process of thinking not just the outcome of thinking. Below are some points that feel most important and a link at the bottom to a document Donata offers as a summary. We both used chatGPT to help generate the points and the document and then refined what was produced so that it resonated with what we wanted to say, an instance of the use of AI that Donata is advocating! * AI discussions often compare it to human intelligence, but we need to improve our understanding of human thinking to use AI for our benefit.* Education should focus on understanding the process of thinking, not just output.* Teachers need to create assignments that imply real engagement and can't be easily done by AI, encouraging students to think. But how?* Thinking is often seen as vague and hard, making AI a handy tool to avoid it.* Eugene Gendlin's methods show a grounded, embodied way of thinking that connects with real experiences.* Hannah Arendt's political thinking stresses the need to use real experiences for clarity, encouraging engagement with life's complexities, including emotions.* Developing inclusive thinking needs courage and openness, with Gendlin's methods helping with this.* Joint attention and embodied resonance are key for cognitive growth, making thinking more inclusive, joyful, and trustworthy.* Embodied thinkers are connected to the earth and other living processes, a concept educators should promote.Episode 32.

We Are Nature. Focusing and Ecotherapy with guest Adrian Harris and host Greg Madison. Episode 31In this episode, Adrian and I share an intriguing conversation about how the body is our connection to the other-than-human and how this embodiment can lead to a deep form of eco-appreciation and activism. Adrian describes what he means by ecopaganism, ecopsychology and lists the 3 keys to ecotherapy self-practice. We also touch on the question of how therapy might expand if it is practiced in nature rather than within four walls. Adrian's work compliments Gendlin's statement, ‘In sensing ourselves, our bodies sense our physical environment and our inter-human situations' (Gendlin, 2003. p.101).Episode 31 with Adrian Harris: https://youtu.be/0xu6x9u0bl4?si=ruRtFeGq9iQ1m_lSThe Living Process - all episodes and podcast links:https://www.londonfocusing.com/the-living-process/TLP YouTube video channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC0TgN6iVu3n9d9q2l43z1xBMYY3p9FQLThe Living Process on the FOT Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx3FqA70kQWuHCHmEiZnkn1VcrRIPbcvkDr Adrian Harris is based in Exeter, UK, and works as a person-centred, FOT and Ecotherapist in person and online.

Awakening to Embodied Living on The Living ProcessIn this episode Russell and I share a heartfelt discussion about the importance of the ‘physical body' and of going ‘beyond' it. Russell talks of the development of his teacher Moshe Feldenkrais, his method and how ‘freedom' was his main goal. Russell emphasised the important of ‘not-knowing' and how this helps to navigate the edge between Guided Inquiry, Feldenkrais, Zen meditation and their integration into the practice of The Embodied Life.

Focusing during wartime with Dan Schachter on The Living Process with Greg Madison. E29 Welcome to this episode of The Living Process, following quite soon on the last episode because of the topical nature of my conversation with Dan. In our conversation, we speak mainly about the experience of living within the conflict between Israel and Palestine. We also talk about Dan's gradual transition from psychoanalysis to experiential therapy back in the early 1990s. Dan has trained in Somatic Experiencing and EMDR and works in a trauma clinic as well as privately. We touched on what it is like to work as a clinical psychologist with clients who might have a very different perspective on the war going on around them. What it is like to be living in a society that is undergoing such a deep crisis which all clients and therapists are affected by on a daily basis? Dan talks about how crucial felt sensing, TAE, and Gendlin's underlying experiential philosophy have been as a resource in his attempts to navigate the complexity of feelings and attitudes amongst Israelis. We acknowledge how difficult it is to hold the tension between one's own truth and wanting to remain open to the nuances of other opinions with an awareness that even in this podcast we are inevitably stepping into this minefield of judgment and criticism. Dan mentions his participation in PsychoActive, a mental health group for human rights opposed to the occupation of Palestinian territory, and how taking such a stance does not close him to being curious about other ways of experiencing all that is happening in his region of the world. Dan Schachter, Is originally from Norway and has lived in Israel for many years, speaking English, Hebrew, and Norwegian fluently. Dan is a Focusing coordinator, a Focusing Oriented Therapist, and a clinical psychologist in private practice. He teaches Focusing, TAE (Thinking at the Edge) and the philosophy of the implicit and is well known in the Focusing community for his contributions to various projects including the International Focusing Institute Certification Weeklong core faculty.

Focusing and Self-Discovery with Jeffrey Morrison on The Living Process with Greg Madison. Episode 28 In this episode, I welcome Jeffrey Morrison who is well-known in our community as a Focusing Oriented Therapist and Teacher of Focusing. Jeffrey and I outline his interesting journey from philosophy and theology through existential-phenomenological therapy into the world of Focusing and Gendlin's philosophy. We discuss the importance of structure when teaching a natural process, as well as psychedelics and the role of death awareness in developing spirituality. We touch on Jeffrey's interest in trauma, neuroscience, the role of the physical body, and also how Focusing can help us avoid joining the polarised conflicts that are plaguing our world. Jeffrey studied philosophy, and religion before concentrating on psychology after being exposed to Focusing. He has worked in various settings with adolescents, parents, and teachers. He has trained in Family System Therapy, Adlerian Psychology, meditation, aspects of Feldenkrais, Zen, and recently co-wrote a chapter on Polyvagal Theory and trauma.

The Living Process Episode 26 with host Greg Madison Guest Rob Parker Paradigm Leaping Welcome back to The Living Process. In this episode, Rob talks about his interests in philosophy, especially existentialism, from an early age and it was this interest, combined with his desire to help other young kids like himself, that led him to Gendlin. Rob's first experience of the Focusing world was a 3-day Thinking at the Edge workshop with Gendlin at Stony Point. Unusually his interest in philosophy was his way into Focusing. We talk about Rob's interest in ‘meaning', his journey from the ideas of Gregory Bateson to Maurice Marleau-Ponty and Thomas Kuhn, and how these thinkers brought him to Gendlin and a unique opportunity to drop everything and learn from this new philosopher. In our conversation, we touched on how learning Focusing affected Rob's therapy practice. He also talks about learning from Mary Hendricks Gendlin how to slow down and work with the felt sense in sessions and we touched upon the political and social implications of The Process Model. Rob mentioned his modification of the EXP scale and his use of Zen and Focusing to work with The Inner Critic. Rob Parker is well-known in the Focusing world and beyond as a clear thinker representing Gendlin's A Process Model and Gendlin's other philosophies to a lay audience. He has a longterm interest in Zen, spirituality, and science. For years Rob was a practicing psychologist, originally in the existential tradition, specialising in psychological trauma. In 2000 Rob found the philosophy of Eugene Gendlin, which he dedicated himself to understanding by meeting Gendlin every week until Gendlin died in 2017.

Lynn had just returned from a Psychoanalytic Self Psychology conference in Rome, having caught covid on the flight back, so you may notice that her voice is a bit husky but only her energy is infectious. In this conversation, we discussed how to translate between her very different therapeutic communities and what she values from Kohut's psychoanalytic theories of development and the importance of empathy. Lynn mentioned a paper she wrote some time ago which attempts to bridge the different languages of Kohut and Gendlin's understandings and it went over very well with her psychoanalytic colleagues. The link to that paper, The Edge of Awareness is below. Lynn and I spoke mostly about her Community Empowerment group work. We discussed revolutionary listening and how groups could evolve to allow us to talk about our differences. We mentioned the ‘carrying forward' of the group process and how we know so little about this but one important principle according to Lynn is that not everyone has to agree. She suggests that we need Revolutionary Talking not just Revolutionary Listening in order to move beyond the dyad model. How can the practice of Focusing be expanded to practices of relating? How can the ‘us' of the group make the individuals more of themselves rather than less. How can we map the challenges of group interaction in the way that in Focusing we have mapped how to work personally and as a dyad? Is mapping out the group process the next step for us in focusing? Lynn believes this is the year to bring this further development into the world. Episode 25 with Lynn Preston: https://youtu.be/tY0fRybIWcM Lynn Preston is well-known in the Self Psychology community and the Focusing Oriented Therapy community. She has spent years teaching and writing about both forms of therapy and had a long-standing friendship with Eugene Gendlin.

Delighted to welcome Judy and Nikos to this, episode 23 of The Living Process. Our guests are well known for their achievement of editing Senses of Focusing Volume 1 and 2, two fantastic resources featuring new writing and diverse perspectives on Focusing and FOT. In this episode, we discuss critiques of focusing, what is coming next for them both, and positive developments they would like to see happen in therapy generally and in the Focusing world. In our 3-way conversation, we touch on the way that other approaches like the person-centered approach, Internal Family Systems, or Emotion Focus Therapy might incorporate focusing as a technique without fully integrating the fundamental importance of the experiential response, felt sensing, and carrying forward. We touched on different words and understandings for theories of the body, for eg the Ancient Greek terms like 'pathos' and the difference it offers if we allow ancient philosophy to be experienced freshly. We raised questions regarding what we can do to be better understood by other traditions and to translate some of our discoveries so that therapists from other orientations can think further with them. How do we in FOT deal with abrupt or cathartic changes? How do we engage with theories? How can we build bridges with other therapeutic communities and philosophies? What is our view of the person? Is there a spiritual context for our understanding of human being? Can we stay open to other ways of thinking so that they stay open to us? What is the future of FOT and therapy? How to keep developing FOT ourselves after the work of Gendlin… In response to this Judy and Nikos are planning a series of seminars or a symposium to welcome critical thinking and deeper exploration of Focusing, FOT and our relationship to other ways of understanding. Nikolaos Kypriotakis has studied Physics and has been trained in Person-Centred & Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, Person-Centred Supervision and Children Focusing. He works as an FOT therapist and Focusing Trainer for the Hellenic Focusing Center and he is a Certifying Coordinator with The International Focusing Institute, New York. Together with Judy Moore he edited the collective work Senses of Focusing, Vol. I & II and has translated into Greek the book Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin. He was the editor-in-chief of the magazine Εποχή-Epoché (Phenomenological Psychotherapies), for the issues n.1 to n.16. Judy Moore was originally trained in the classical Person-Centred Approach on the first PCA professional training in the UK. She taught on the postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling at the University of East Anglia (UEA) throughout the 1990s before, thanks to the work of her colleague, Campbell Purton, finally discovering the extent of Gendlin's contribution to the development of Client-Centred/ Person-Centred Therapy. As Director of the Centre for Counselling Studies at UEA she worked with Campbell to develop Focusing and FOT training at UEA in the early 2000s. UEA also hosted several conferences, including colloquiums on Gendlin's philosophy. Judy is a Certifying Coordinator of The International Focusing Institute, working in private practice and as a freelance trainer and consultant. In 2021 she co-edited (with Nikolaos Kypriotakis) the two volumes of Senses of Focusing. https://sensesoffocusing.weebly.com Focusing book in Greek translation: https://bit.ly/3Y9BtwM #bodytherapy #focusing #gendlin #experientialpractice #somaticexperience #psychotherapy #counseling #psychology #personalgrowth #rodgers

EPISODE 20 - "THE WORLD WE ARE", WITH DONATA SCHOELLER, PHD. THE LIVING PROCESS WITH GREG MADISON, PHD. I'm happy to announce The Living Process, Episode 20 with Donata Schoeller. This is the 4th, theme-based, conversation with Donata. This time we are picking up where we left our last conversation and talking about whether a person has an ‘inside'. Topics we cover include “what words do”, what is visible and invisible and how even the invisible can still be perceived. We touch on the interaction of symbols and body, the different spaces we live in, Gene's Process Model, the meaning of gestures, how this all works in the act of felt sensing. Later in the conversation we discuss how felt sensing is a dance and a primary process of making meaning. The general question we are exploring is whether people are separate? Donata expresses this in the beautiful statement: “we are immersed in a common world net”. Near the end, Donata asks, “What makes this practice so beautiful?” Where does the sincerity and integrity come from? We conclude the episode by agreeing on our topic for the next conversation. Episode 20: ‘The World We Are' with Donata Schoeller, PhD. https://youtu.be/n1k3LrwnUck Dr Donata Schoeller is a philosopher who teaches internationally at various universities and is the academic director of the program "Training in Embodied Critical Thinking. In addition to her extensive work on Gendlin's philosophy, Donata has also published on Gendlin's philosophy and was involved in translating Gendlin's text A Process Model into German. She teaches Thinking at the Edge and is a Focusing trainer offering courses in Switzerland, internationally, and online. https://www.donataschoeller.com The Living Process - all episodes and podcast links: https://www.londonfocusing.com/the-living-process/ Living Process on the FOT Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx3FqA70kQWuHCHmEiZnkn1VcrRIPbcvk The Living Process is available on all podcast platforms, with free transcripts of each episode. #focusing #meditation #mindfulness #experience #Gendlin #existential #therapy #somatic
Episode 18 The Living Process Living the Focusing Journey, with Nada Lou I am happy to share this conversation with Nada Lou as Episode 18 of The Living Process. Nada is well known throughout the Focusing world as a Coordinator, teacher of Focusing, a contributor to Biospiritual Focusing and early developer of Thinking at the Edge along with Gendlin. She brought Focusing to many new regions of the world and she has documented countless workshops and presentations by Eugene Gendlin and other Focusing teachers through her valued DVDs (see her website). Nada talks about growing up during a turbulent time in Yugoslavia and though not mentioned in the interview, Nada was on the gymnastics national team for Yugoslavia and was a long-time coach of gymnastics when the emigrated to Australia and then Canada. It was in Montreal that Nada was recommended the Focusing book and then met Ed and Pete from whom she learned and then taught Biospiritual Focusing. In the episode we touch on many of these events and her deep resonance with Ed and Pete's teaching of how to be ‘religious' or spiritual ‘with both feet on the ground'. This embodied spirituality echoed her own theological studies. She talks about meeting Gene, her video work, and how for her the video documents represent her self-expression of Gene's teaching. Nada talks about her natural connection with Gene, the history of TAE and other fascinating points that will interest many of us in the Focusing Community. Her website and DVD list… https://nadalou.com/about/ Nada is a prolific video maker of more than 45 DVDs featuring Gene Gendlin and other Focusing luminaries. Since co-presenting TAE workshops with Gendlin, Nada evolved a personal approach to the TAE course called THINK DIFFERENT – (TAE), and she remains in the forefront of spreading the “method” of this practice around the world. Nada is the author of “The Grassroots Manual Introduction to TAE”. Nada is available to give workshops and presentations to groups around the world by invitation. In her teaching of TAE and Focusing, Nada highlights Gendlin's philosophical ideas and in this way, awakens interest for the wonderful complexity that this philosophy is capable of drawing out.

"I've often heard people talk about The Work of Byron Katie as the "how"... there's the "what" of spiritual development... you know freedom, what it looks like... it's described so well in terms of Essence in the Enneagram. There are many ways to talk about it in many traditions. And there are many ways in terms of the how. But Byron Katie's is such a simple and accessible how. Like, take this step, follow this step, go through these little points... and there's often some evolution happening in just 20-30 minutes." Todd Smith is a facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie -- one of the most powerful methods of inner work I've encountered. We discuss what it is, demo it, and debrief. Enjoy.

The Living Process Episode 16 Zen and Focusing as Personal Practice, with Christian Dillo I'm happy to announce The Living Process, Episode 16 with Christian Dillo. Christian and I were meeting for the first time in this episode. In this episode Christian and I speak about how he, even as an adolescent, would pause while speaking to say what he really meant and his later discovery of Gendlin's focusing and how it put into words a process that he was already engaged in. He was committed to authenticity and pausing and not talking in a way that alienated him from himself. He asks ‘What does the situation require from me' to carry itself forward. Christian's Focusing is self-taught - he Focuses has never taken a Focusing class or workshop. He has also studied Gendlin's philosophy and during the conversation, it's clear that he has a deep understanding of how the philosophy relates to the practice. Christian talks about why Zen practice was the way forward for him rather than going into the Focusing world and how he remains open to further collaboration with us. He also discusses his depression as a kind of shying away from intensity and how his Zen Buddhist practice was helpful in his discernment of ‘field' awareness and ‘focused' awareness. We touch on phenomenology as a transformative practice and both Focusing and Zen Buddhism as examples of that. We explore whether Focusing is a spiritual practice and about the possible drawbacks of thinking of Focusing as a ‘method'. Meeting Christian has made me wonder how many ‘Focusers' are out there on their own, without any connection to the larger community! Thank you to Iain Murdoch for suggesting Christian as a guest. Zenki Christian Dillo Roshi is the Resident Teacher at the Boulder Zen Center. He started his practice at the San Francisco Zen Center in 1996. For 20 years, he practiced monastically at the Crestone Mountain Zen Center. In 2013, he received dharma transmission from Zentatsu Baker Roshi. Since then, he has been the Boulder Zen Center Guiding Teacher. In 2020, he moved to Boulder full-time, where he now lives with his wife and son. Zenki Roshi teaches Zen on the understanding that, fundamentally, Buddhism is an embodied investigation of human experience with the intention of realizing liberation from suffering, wisdom, and compassion. He is the author of The Path of Aliveness: A Contemporary Zen Approach to Awakening Body and Mind (Shambhala, 2022).

The Living Process Episode 14, Series 2. The German Focusing Institute: How They Teach, with Klaus Renn. Klaus Renn, Director of the German Focusing Institute (Deutsches Focusing Institut DFI) describes details of how they teach FOTs. I am very grateful to Klaus for speaking with me in English. He put in a lot of generous effort to speak with me. The first Focusing Institute was formed in Germany and they hosted Gene Gendlin on many occasions. They started the first Focusing Summer Schools and they continue to run with large groups of participants. Most of our conversation explores the structure of their training and some of the exercises they do with their classes. For this reason, I suspect that the episode will be of special interest to FOTs and those of us who teach Focusing oriented Therapy classes. In this episode, we also talk about how Klaus first encountered Gendlin's work while engaged in his client-centred therapy training and he immediately knew that this was the right path for him. He pursued training in Focusing and then worked together with Dr Johannes Wiltksho. Due to the sound quality and difficulty in translation, I have added voice-overs to some sections so that the listener can get a clear sense of the important details Klaus is sharing with us. You might find that this episode is easier to enjoy with the video. Klaus has written a book “The Magic Moments - What Focusing Is”, but the only English version is via an online translation service. Their group also has an English translation of Gendlin's workshop teachings so many years ago, collated by Gerhard Cieslak. If you are interested in seeing either of these and perhaps helping to make them more widely available, contact Klaus. An excerpt from the book “The Magic Moments”, by Klaus Renn: “Writing this book has given me a lot of pleasure over 3 years. The book project gave me the opportunity to reflect on my 30 years of practice and teaching. I understood many things in a new and more essential way. Focusing inspired me while writing - so that the book actually wrote itself. With this book I want to let Gene Gendlin speak: his way of seeing and interpreting the world, experience, philosophy and psychotherapy. The rich treasure of his view goes far beyond my "carrying on" and interpreting. My wish is to point to him as an inspirer of new thinking…”https://youtu.be/MDssyD9ScgA https://www.deutsches-focusing-institut.de You can contact Klaus Renn directly at: k.renn@t-online.de The Living Process - all episodes and podcast links: https://www.londonfocusing.com/the-living-process/ Living Process on the FOT Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx3FqA70kQWuHCHmEiZnkn1VcrRIPbcvk The Living Process is available on all podcast platforms.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Closeness To the Issue (Part 5 of "The Sense Of Physical Necessity"), published by LoganStrohl on March 9, 2024 on LessWrong. This is the fifth post in a sequence that demonstrates a complete naturalist study, specifically a study of query hugging (sort of), as described in The Nuts and Bolts of Naturalism. This one continues my demo of phases one and two: Locating Fulcrum Experiences and Getting Your Eyes On. For context on this sequence, see the intro post. Reminder that this is meant as reference material. Before throwing in the towel, I thought I might as well try talking things through with ChatGPT. Why? I think it was just something I was doing a lot at the time. "Not sure how to proceed? Throw GPT4 at it for a while and see what happens." I didn't expect anything in particular from the activity. As it turns out, I can probably count on one hand the number of work-related discussions that have been as useful to me as this one - which probably says as much about my social deficits as it does about GPT4's abilities. It talked me around, and I un-gave-up. The most important part was using GPT as a Focusing partner. I did a (mostly) canonical version of Gendlin's Focusing, and came to understand that I was struggling with the balancing act between authenticity and legibility. I decided to almost completely abandon legibility. The relevant section of chat log: (Note: Often, ChatGPT suddenly turns into a mini encyclopedia entry. I fondly imagine an excited nerdy 12-year-old trying to get full marks on an essay at these moments. Despite considering them extraneous to me personally, since it's giving me background on terms I have chosen myself, I've left these parts in as potentially valuable context for onlookers, but I've italicized them so you can skip them if you'd prefer.) Logan I'm going to try a little bit of "focusing" a la Eugene Gendlin, to get in touch with whatever it is I want to work out. Please be a focusing partner. I feel a forward pressure, and another pressure holding that back. It's primarily in my chest and solar plexus. The forward pressure reminds me of stamping feet, raring to go, frustration, almost desperation. It has a couple of layers, I think, as though something is trying to hide. The "desperation" is from a lower layer than the "raring to go". I get a felt shift when I think "I feel afraid". I feel afraid that I am done, it is over, I can no longer do or make or think. I feel afraid that I will never make progress again. The forward pressure in my chest responded a lot to that last sentence. There was a release, and I exhaled tension. ChatGPT Thank you for sharing your experience in real-time. It sounds like a potent mix of emotions and sensations you're navigating through. The concept of "focusing" as developed by Eugene Gendlin involves tapping into our bodily sense of particular issues or feelings, the "felt sense", and trying to articulate or resonate with that feeling until there's a shift or clarification. It's an internal process, but sharing it, especially with a partner, can provide reflection and sometimes help articulate or pinpoint what's happening within. The forward pressure you describe, with its layers of "raring to go" and "desperation," seems to be a complex feeling, perhaps with multiple facets or sources. And your identification of the underlying fear - that you may not progress or contribute again - seems to be a significant realization. It's commendable that you're confronting these feelings head-on and seeking clarity. How are you feeling now after the release you mentioned? Are there more sensations or feelings that you want to explore further or share? Logan Yes, I want to feel into the "holding back" pressure. The "holding back" feels more like it's on the outside of my body. Like a wall, or a hand on my chest. I...
Many emerging therapies like EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and Psychedelics target a client's “Felt Sense” and “Embodied Knowing” rather than intellectual and cognitive insight. The term “Felt Sense” was coined by philosopher Eugene Gendlin, who developed a peer to peer therapy process called Focusing in the 1950s. Here we present a conversation with Focusing expert Annette Dubreuil on the history, allure, and methodology of this internal psychotherapeutic process. Annette describes her personal connection to Focusing, her experiences as a long-time Focusing facilitator, and her specific teaching process, the Pupa process. She also describes Gendlin's Thinking at the Edge method for creativity, and how we can combine knowledge from different fields to enhance creativity and meaning. Stick around till the end to learn the meaning of life according to Annette Dubreuil and consider whether Focusing may be right for you.Timestamps3:15 - Definition of the “felt sense”9:30 - Annette introduces Focusing14:00 - Annette's discovery of Focusing17:30 - Combining Polyvagal Theory and Focusing 23:10 - Giving credit to Eugene Gendlin 24:32 - Crossing therapy processes and modalities (“Thinking at the Edge”)26:59 - Combining the 8 C's of IFS and Focusing 30:10 - Focusing and Heart Energy 32:07 - Annette's transition from Focusing client to collaborator 35:00 - How empathy factors into Focusing38:00 - Tanya Singer's meditative monks42:00 - Catastrophic thinking46:27 - Annette's background 49:20 - Victor Frankl's 4 Components of Finding Meaning54:36 - “Meaning issue” in Annette's clients56:40 - Conversation about Dirk and Annette's shared experience 59:30 - Psychedelics and Focusing 1:01:30 - Annette's personal focusing practice1:05:00 - Focusing prompts1:06:47 - Rapid Fire questions and wind downProduced by Dirk Winter and Violet ChernoffTheme music by The Thrashing Skumz
