Focusing-Oriented Case Consultation for Healing Professionals
A 3-session in-depth consultation group by phone led by Eugene Gendlin
facilitated by Ann Weiser Cornell
"I don't think I have ever experienced that kind of really deep agendaless listening."
–Joan Hitlin
As those who took our course last year on “Focusing, Psychotherapy, and the Implicit” discovered, Eugene Gendlin has a gift for consultation on client sessions. He listens closely and compassionately to your description of what’s going on with your client, and then goes to the heart of the matter, often finding a surprising, fresh direction that opens up new possibilities. Tough clients, difficult reactions to clients, stuck situations, puzzles and questions – all are welcome. If you can role play your client and let Gene try different ways of responding, all the better. You will be able to bring your own questions; and there is great richness in hearing Gene respond to the questions of others, as well as relief when he shares his own stumbles and mis-steps. Facilitated by Ann Weiser Cornell.
Guidelines will be given for how to change client information so clients cannot be recognized. Because of the sensitivity of sharing client information, this course will never be made available to be purchased later as we plan for our other courses. Only registered participants may hear recordings of the course.

About Ann Weiser Cornell:
Ann Weiser Cornell was getting her PhD in Linguistics at the University of Chicago when she met and studied with Eugene Gendlin, starting in 1972. In 1980, Gene invited Ann to assist with his Focusing workshops. This started her on a path to become a Focusing teacher, and in 1990, Ann became the first person to support herself full-time as a Focusing teacher. Today Ann is internationally recognized as one of the leading innovators and theoreticians of Focusing. She is the author of The Power of Focusing, and The Radical Acceptance of Everything.
