Course Description

"Focusing" is a technique used in psychotherapy to tap into the emotional intelligence of the body. Created by Dr. Eugene Gendlin, this technique has been widely researched and used to increase the efficacy of therapy.

In this course, David Rome shows how we can use focusing to improve our emotional intelligence, solve problems, and create lasting change. By adding mindfulness to the practice of focusing, David shows how we can use this technique as a daily practice that can greatly enrich our life.
