Francesca Castaldi, Ph.D.

I am passionate about Focusing. I feel strongly that we live in an historical time of crisis that affects us all from the most intimate to the most global levels. At times like this we need to re-invent our ways of being as family members, neighbors, workers, and citizens.

Focusing helps us in this process, gently offering us ways to mend and heal even what we at first may have not recognized as needing healing. I have found Focusing to be a practice of hope, liberation, and friendship. Yet it is a humble practice, not grandiose but realistic, working its way with kindness and a bearable natural pace.

This is why since 2004 I have committed to Focusing not only as a profession but also as a way of building communities and new ways of living. I am a certified Focusing Trainer, having studied intensively with Ann Weiser Cornell, as well as with Barbara McGavin in their Treasure Maps to the Soul.

I bring to Focusing an anthropological understanding of socio-cultural patterns and how they impact the way we interpret and confront life challenges. I offer workshops in Movement and Focusing and Writer’s Block as well as Levels 1-4.

In-person sessions and Focusing workshops in Oakland, California and Milano, Italy. Phone sessions as well. Offro sedute individuali e workshops anche in Italiano.
