RE: A Guide To Focusing: Psychotherapy For Everyday Use

in #psychology7 years ago

This is very interesting. A good tool. The simple tools like this are the best. They seem obvious when you know them but hard to come up with them on your own. At some points in our lives and perhaps our cycle, we are overwhelmed by emotional states , effecting others left, right and centre. To know a quick retreat like this is a well needed coping mechanism. Thanks.

I completely agree. When I first encountered Foocusing, I thought, oh, this is so easy to do! Why do I even have to follow these steps? But in time, I realized, how much did those terms and techniques change the perception of my inner state of being. And how much are people surprised when I tell them that it's natural for me to see my feelings simply as information so complex I can't understand it with my brain.
