What People Say

”I showed Ann's DVD to psychology interns at the large outpatient mental health clinic where I am the Director of Psychology and it greatly enriched their appreciation of Focusing, and they began using it in their work with patients in remarkable and surprising ways. (Surprising to them because they began to tap into areas of experience they had not thought would be accessible, with patients that they had been feeling frustrated and "stuck" with and surprising to me because I had not expected it to affect their work so quickly.)”
– Charles Herr, New York

”I write to thank you for your Learning Focusing CD. My wife brought it back from your Garrison conference. It works. Taking what I’m feeling the way it comes, I was able to hold the whole thing and to keep returning to it. This week has been better than last as a result. Your CD, your voice, the format, everything makes the whole focusing thing seem pretty damn regular. Again, thanks and best wishes.”
– Steve Howard, East Hampton, NY

 

”Ann, I received the CD and got a chance to listen to it. It's great! I think it will be very helpful for people to hear when they are trying to learn Focusing.”
– Shelley Diamond, Ph.D., San Francisco

 

”I was listening to your [CDs] on Learning Focusing (& also the Introduction to Focusing tape) recently again. I was struck, as always, by how excellent I find them to be. The clarity of ideas; the examples; the simplicity: it’s all quite wonderful I think. Every time I listen to them, I feel cheered; I find a new gem I’d forgotten and a new idea I must steal. So thank you so much for making these great tools. I was going to do an introductory talk and then I thought why bother, have them listen to Ann :)”

Demonstrations of Inner Relationship Focusing:
Working with a Storytelling Client

with Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD

This DVD is a rare opportunity to witness an actual Focusing session guided by a world-renowned master teacher, with commentary both before and after the session. Ann Weiser Cornell facilitates Patrick, a man working with issues of anger, through a Focusing process in which he moves from recounting events in his life (telling stories) into a deeper contact with himself, a place from which life-forward movement becomes possible.

 

Today, more and more clinicians are discovering the need to work in a body-oriented way in order to facilitate real change. The Focusing process, developed by Eugene Gendlin from research into successful psychotherapy, is the ultimate in body-oriented, non-touch therapeutic work. Yet incorporating Focusing smoothly into therapy sessions is not simple, especially with some kinds of clients.

 

In this DVD, Ann Weiser Cornell demonstrates her signature approach to facilitating Focusing, combining gentle empathic respect with highly supportive invitations that point the way to deeper process at every stage. Specific points illustrated include: acknowledging both parts in an inner conflict without taking sides, using invitations instead of questions, respecting “resistance,” facilitating Presence, and responding positively to an inner “critic.”
