"Focusing allows me to use all of my experiences, emotions, motivators and procrastinators in a holistic process which is framed by the radical acceptance of all that I am. Focusing has helped to funnel all of the seemingly unconnected pieces. And now I use the process in creating my poetry.”
“Focusing has allowed me to – look at/and be with – a part of myself that I have never knew existed. The part that was so terrified of death, that it could not even allow itself to say anything about, or think of a loved one dying.
Through the process of Focusing I was finally able to admit there was some part of me that needed to look at the issue of death, and what that meant for me. In my initial session I was able to acknowledge that part. In succeeding sessions with another partner, I am able to stay with that frightened part of me and be kind to it, the way I would stay with a frightened friend.
Since I have been Focusing, I have become more aware of the vague signals my body sends me. That first twinge of discomfort in certain situations, or that simple sense of joy around some people. In fact, I feel like I have developed a close relationship with my inner self (child) through Focusing. I like that, it makes me feel more complete.”
