10 hours of approved Continuing Education Credit
Do you have clients faced with:
- a harsh inner critic
- difficulty setting boundaries
- resistance to self-awareness
- low self-esteem
- addictions
- action blocks
- trauma,PTSD
- overwhelming emotion
- trouble accessing emotion
- stress
- chronic pain
- difficulty sustaining relationships
Research has shown that using the Focusing process to guide clients into a gentle, accepting inner attention allows them to experience shifts in how an issue is held. When the client can accurately symbolize their concrete bodily felt experience, and be heard, there are noticeable bodily changes that lead to changes in behavior and understanding.
Just for reading The Power of Focusing and having a helpful Focusing session with its author, Ann Weiser Cornell... you can earn 10 hours of continuing education credit at home!
Learn about Focusing, a powerful and effective way to help your clients access deep levels of process, bypass intellectualization, avoid overwhelming emotion and go directly to the source of change. The Focusing process has been shown to correlate with positive life change, increased self-esteem, and a greater ability to live in the present. Body-oriented methods have been gaining steadily in acceptance and popularity, and Focusing is the ultimate in body-oriented, non-touch therapeutic work.
You can learn about Focusing “painlessly” – and earn CE credits – by reading this short, interesting book (only 113 pages) and having a guided Focusing session of your own. In this session, you can work on any area of your life, and very possibly experience insight and transformation. It’s like giving a precious gift to yourself. After you read the book and have the session, you’ll fill out an Evaluation of Learning and receive your CE certificate.
Ann Weiser Cornell has been acclaimed as the premier teacher of Focusing. Learn more about Ann here. Her book, The Power of Focusing: A Practical Guide to Emotional Self-Healing, has drawn worldwide praise for its simplicity and clarity, making this remarkable process accessible to anyone.

We’ll send you the book, The Power of Focusing, and we’ll schedule a 50-minute session for you (in person or by phone) with Ann Weiser Cornell. Learn more about Ann's sessions here.
