ESSENTIAL!!

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 9 mai 2023

This book is ABSOLUTELY essential for anyone studying to be a psychotherapist. During effective therapy, there is a distinct kind of "atmosphere" of receptivity and authenticity (akin to what Carl Rogers described, in "Client-Centered" therapy).

6 stars. Gendlin, a student of Carl Rogers, took things a few steps further than his mentor, in a technological direction.

Make no mistake, focusing is a technology or technique that can be taught to anyone of average or above average intelligence who has guts and some inclination toward introspection. It's not something that fits everyone.

If you are ineluctably stupid or self-deceiving, this won't help you. As an ineluctably stupid or dishonest person, you won't recognize yourself as such, and will think this book is meant for you.You will buy it and put it aside nearly immediately. That's ok--you've helped boost its rank on Amazon. It's about time you did something nice for other people. </snark>

Focusing is said to be meditational. Which I guess it is. But I'd almost call it anti-meditational. If traditional clear your mind meditation bores or repels you, focusing is not that. It is highly intentional, active and verbal. The whole point is to drag up what's not verbal within you and make it verbal. "Drag" sounds a little harsh, and focusing is not harsh--maybe dredge is a better word?

If you've ever wanted to be a writer, envied how they express things that you were only dimly aware of thinking the same thing until they said it, focusing is for you.

And focusing is fun. It is designed specifically to give you a doggy treat at the end of most sessions: The "A-ha!" moment of insight that you spend $200 a week with a therapist to get now and then.

It is also very practical: You can bring it to bear on immediate practical issues and I have found that it brings me to much better immediate problem-solving: I have no idea how to handle this meeting in the morning. And it's really wonderful for slightly bigger questions. Should I change my career? What do I do next about my problem adult child? My boss is driving me crazy, how do I handle him better? I'm afraid my spouse doesn't care for me anymore.

I've never gotten bad advice or made a major screw-up because of focusing. Your mileage may vary.

A great little book informing a somatic awareness

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 15 janvier 2022

Achat vérifié

I've had this little book since 1978 and loved the somatic viewpoint of focusing on one's internal being. I appreciated the look to bodily awareness and asking the questions to help one navigate the deepest levels of awareness within the body and then listening to our body's wisdom.
When I learned that this book was reissued in 2007, I bought a few more for gifts. Since the initial print, there has been lots of work in somatics, bodywork, and healing trauma and anxiety. This little book is still very relevant and easy to use as a guide in bodily sensing and awareness, learning how to identify and change the way our thoughts and emotions are held within our bodies, and tapping into greater self-awareness. The deeper we can experience ourselves, the richer our connection and relationship with others can be. Heal ourselves - heal the world.

An interesting and unique approach in therapy for those in the social services and psychological fields.

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 23 mai 2015

Achat vérifié

This book (Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin) is actually aimed at professional therapists even though anyone can learn some interesting techniques in handling their own internal problems and conflicts. This paperback edition begins with an introduction to the 25th anniversary edition by the author, followed by an introduction to the first edition (Focusing: A tool for changing times) by Marilyn Ferguson.

The four parts includes the following: Unlocking the wisdom of your body explaining the inner act, change and what the body knows. The second part explains the Focusing theory which is longest section because it goes into details how the system works. The third part deals with “people helping each other” with using the focusing therapy method. The final part covers focusing and society.
There is also an appendix section that should also be read which also covers a summary of the six steps to follow in practicing focusing.

If you are in therapy or you are a therapist this book may be a valuable aid for those in the field. Even though I personally did not see much value in this book; nevertheless, I intend to pass on this book to some of my friends who are certified social worker therapists.

Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute).

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 27 janvier 2016

I am reading this so called "breakthrough methodology" book of Gendlin and his Focussing and Felt sense technique that he claims to have discovered. The book is underwhelming to say the least. So many of these so called PhD's are so stuck in their own world's that they almost invent a new methodoly as they go along, trying to make themselves look unique. It's the ego's basic hunger.

Gendlin keeps repeating that this "Felt sense" is all body originating, and not from the Mind. Since he does not clarify what the "Mind" means to him - I think he means the brain, in the book. The brain is simply an organ, a receiving and processing organ. No question the felt sense will not originate there. But the "Mind" is an entirely different entity. The mind can be looked at as many energetic fields in and around our body that interface with outside sources of energy and information 24/7. All our expereinces (from this and previous lives) are stored in these enegetic fields. So when Gendlin says in the book that he can think of Helen (or any other person you know) and feel her instantly and claims that is because all that information is stored in my body and not my mind (he means brain here again) - he is right. It is not in the brain, but in our mind - conscious+unconscious. So simple and well known. It is also interesting that in his 25 year edition, which I am reading, he does not point out this basic difference between mind and brain.

To his credit, age seems to have humbled the man. I was just watching a You Tube where Gendlin is talking to an audience about his Focussing techiques (mentioned in this book) and he does say at the outset that Focusing and the Felt sense methodology as discussed in this book are NOT his invention, but has been around much before him and his book. Good. Because as I am reading his book - he makes it sound like "nobody" was practicing inner awareness work before he apparently found it!! The brash and young ego does get thawed with age!

Average book.

An Emotional Awareness Classic

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 29 mars 2015

Achat vérifié

This book contains a clear explanation of how to increase emotional awareness. The author is a contemporary philosopher who was interested in emotion and developed a method of identifying, tolerating, and working with embodied emotion. The practice of Focusing contains 1) bringing awareness to the body, sensing into an emotion, and allowing space between you and what you discover there in your body, 2) obtaining a sense of the emotion awareness identified, 3) finding a phrase, word, image, color or sound that precisely represents the emotion, 4) checking again the sense with its representation until they feel as one, 5) asking into (or asking the body) about this sense, and receiving in an open way what comes to you--rapid answers are usually discarded as intellection in nature--slowly formulating intuitive answers are valued as emotional truth. This is really a beautiful process to follow and of course there are many variations and adaptations to working with embodied emotion. If I could only recommend one book about increasing emotional ability, this would be it--easy to understand. As you decide, maybe check out the author's website focusing.org.

I wonder

I highly recommend reading more from two sources on the Web

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 7 décembre 2014

Achat vérifié

Eugene Gendlin is the man who "developed" the method that's called "focusing," so by reading this book, you're getting the original developer's approach, and it's *great* stuff! Having said that, it also takes practice and personal exploration to learn more about yourself and how you work inside. I highly recommend reading more from two sources on the Web: focusing.org, where you'll find more by Eugene Gendlin and others who have also contributed to the advancement and diversifying of the original methods, and focusingresources.com, where Ann Weiser Cornell (one of Eugene Gendlin's most advanced students, who has developed her own strengths and insights extremely well) offers another treasure trove of insight and resources. She is particularly good at noticing subtle differences in how we use language, and those subtle differences play a very powerful role in getting stuck and getting unstuck! Even still, I encourage everyone to continue exploring on your own. Don't stop here!

First steps towards jnana yoga.,

Commenté en Inde 🇮🇳 le 28 juillet 2016

Its all about ascertaining our own feelings and emotions. There is a beauty in truthful feelings. When we watch our feelings deeply we sense a physical sense (body sense) corresponding to it. And when we ascertain and accept it, a transformation will happen. When we are aware and accept our pain, anger, and sorrow the same feelings may be transformed. This is a spiritual insight explained in a scientific, psychological context. But yogic chakra system know that all mental disturbances have corresponding physical blocks or energy stagnations in the physical body and tries to unwind the knots that has been created in our bodies over the past, in evolution. So the idea is not new. When we accept ourselves, as we are, with our true innocent nature, the unwinding of the knots in the physical body happens leading to a great relief. That is what meditation or yoga is all about. When understanding happens the energy follows..
