Focusing: A Practice of Presence & Listening | Serge Prengel


Listen Later

This week, we’re in conversation with therapist and longtime Focusing teacher Serge Prengel about the transformative power of slowing down and listening from the body.

Serge is one of those rare people who seem to live from a deeper layer of presence. His work blends Focusing, Somatic Experiencing, Core Energetics, and Polyvagal Theory to support real, embodied change.

What stood out for us was how relational this practice is. It brought us into a slower, softer place of deep listening, where we could fully meet each other’s nervous systems.

We explore:

* What Focusing actually is (and isn’t)

* How to feel into what’s “not fully formed yet”

* The role of safety and vulnerability in a therapeutic or relational container

* Why this is a two-way street: the listener is as active as the talker

* How to turn everyday conversations into profound practices of connection

We also talk about what it means to be in right relationship: with yourself, with others, and with the felt sense of a moment that’s still unfolding.
