"What Focusing has meant to me:
”Focusing, as taught by Ann Weiser Cornell, has made a transformative impact on me, both personally and professionally. It has brought keener mindfulness to my day to day life, I am gentler and clearer with myself, my spouse, and my children. It’s offered me a kind of formula, like algebra to approach things with. I have never listened to my psychotherapy clients in such a comprehensive, containing, and facilitative way. I have had many wonderful mentors in my career, and just a few ’diamond in the rough’ teachers, Ann truly is both of these for me.” |
