Have you ever had the feeling that you know exactly what someone is about to say to you? Has your partner walked into the room and you knew something wasn't quite right with them? Have you searched for the right way to express what was going on and not finding it... felt a strange, rich unease for a moment? How about when the words present themselves and suddenly you experience relief and joy?

These are instances of our body knowing something about a situation that goes "way beyond words." The body feels it, the words confirm it.

Experiential Focusing is both a philosophy and a psychology. The psychology provides techniques for healing and change; the philosophy pushes hard against the assumptions of western culture. It provides tools for critical thinking and emotional self-awareness.

In this podcast, Focusing teachers Able Z and Peter J. Ryan investigate the experience of language and feeling in our very weird world.
