Directory of Inner Relationship Teachers

Lerissa Patrick

I first heard about Focusing from my co-authors on a book called Sensible Self-Help, about the stages of emotional wounding and healing. I bought Focusing and a tape, but didn't make any headway in teaching myself the technique.

Then in 1994 I took a workshop with Ann Weiser Cornell on Releasing Action Blocks. I began traveling to Berkeley to take Ann's weekend workshops and then to study with her and Diana Marder (of Huntington Beach) to be a Trainer.

I was certified by the Focusing Institute in 1998, although I had been teaching others in San Diego in 1996. When Reva Bernstein moved to San Diego from Chicago in 1997, I gained another mentor. I recently started studying Tibetan Buddhist meditation, and find that it has deeply enriched my Focusing experience and teaching -- and that Focusing has made my path into meditation easier.

I love teaching Focusing. I love watching the light of discovery go on in the eyes of a new Focuser.

In person Focusing sessions in San Diego, CA. Phone sessions as well.
