“Fitting in and pouring out are not the only alternatives! We do not need to pour ourselves out raw and blind, or go back to fitting in. There is a third alternative, a different way forward, a further stage.”
-Gene Gendlin
The Therapeutic Us Seminar is starting a new module THIS THURSDAY, January 9th, entitled “Embodied Relating: A Further Stage.” In this course we will explore ideas and skills of genuine relating that emerge from a Focusing perspective. Gendlin showed us a path toward “a different way forward” through Focusing and listening. He pointed toward a third urgently needed practice he simply called “RELATING.” Who among us—therapists, group leaders and everyone else—does not struggle with the conundrums of our human connectedness?

Jerusalem Time
At some time or another, all of us have been in conflict with someone that we love or that is significant in our lives. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a partner, a friend, a colleague…whoever it was, something happened, something got in the way of the relationship.
In Social Oriented Focusing ׂׂ(SOFׁ) there is an understanding that the relationship is more important than the conflict, and from this perspective, we can use SOF tools to stop our automatic patterns of reacting and actually manage the conflict.

Eastern Time, New York, USA
Our goal here is to return to the essence of Focusing and ourselves as living process. I ask that participants are Focusing weekly with a partner at least one month before class begins and throughout our time together. There is a lot of reading, often more than you might choose to do. We touch on a variety of approaches to learn and practice Focusing. We begin and end remembering that always that which has learned Focusing is Partiality, not Presence. My Part 4 is a great place to return to whenever you would like to go deeper with your process from wherever it is. Requires Part 3 or equivalent experience.
Meets eight times on Sundays, 2 – 4 pm New York time.

New York time (but you study on your own time)
This course guides you into embodied experiences from which you can develop proactive mindfulness. You get a sense of how to be less reactive and more responsive, and how to seek and benefit from corrective experiences. In other words, the goal is for you to get to know yourself better and to stretch the limits of who you think you are.
This is a self-study course, followed by a Live Q&A on Zoom at the end of the 8 weeks. Self-study is at your own place on your own time.

Eastern US time
An 8 session experiential exploration of the territory of “NO” from the inside out. We’ll use multiple experiential activities to discover and listen to our inner “no” from varied vantage points. We'll listen to our responses to images and to publicly available audio and video recordings of individuals, interactions and environments in order to see in an un-pressured way, how our own felt sense responds to different experiences.
Although it is not a class in boundaries, by learning to connect more deeply with our inner compass, and learning to listen to our response to circumstances, people and environments, over time we will naturally be better able to hear our own “no” and choose when and how to express it.
Meets 8 Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:15

PART 2 is about deepening into the Focusing and Listening process by looking more at the role of the Companion. A companion to ourselves as well as others. I introduce neuroscience here. We develop further our personal concept of creating an inner space that welcomes it all and adapting that space as we follow our process. Requires some previous partnership experience.

Do you:
- Feel stuck in a difficult life situation?
- Suffer, but can't connect to the aching place inside?
- Or feel your life could be richer in ways you can't yet quite articulate?
And do you want to find your own way forward, one that feels good and that comes from you? Inner Relationship Focusing teaches us how to attend to our inner experience in ways that feel deeply satisfying and brings change.
