APPLE | SPOTIFY | YOUTUBE

In this episode of Psychotherapy Central, I take you inside one of the most powerful somatic tools I’ve ever encountered: Focusing, developed by philosopher and psychologist Eugene Gendlin.

If you’ve ever had a tightness in your chest, a lump in your throat, or a gut feeling that held more than words—you’ve already touched the edge of the felt sense. Focusing helps you go deeper.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What the felt sense really is (and what it’s not)

  • The six simple steps of Focusing

  • Why Focusing is so effective in trauma healing

  • How to build a new, safe relationship with your body

  • Common questions people ask when starting this practice

    Whether you’re a therapist or on your own healing journey, this episode gives you both insight and practice. I’ve also created a free guided audio to help you try Focusing for yourself (details below).
