Inner Relationship Focusing – Levels 1 & 2
An experiential training in gentle, focusing-based self-awareness, for therapists and students of all approaches. Online, with Dr. Agathi Lakioti.
A gentle approach to self-awareness and emotional healing
Inner Relationship Focusing is a powerful yet gentle approach to self-awareness and emotional healing, developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin as a refinement and expansion of Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing process.
This experiential training supports your personal and professional growth by deepening your connection with your own emotional experience. Through systematic practice in class and with a dedicated focusing partner, you will become familiar with your own experiential process, learning to:
- Access felt senses
- Work with inner parts
- Cultivate an inner environment of empathy and compassion
By strengthening your capacity to be present with yourself, you will naturally enhance your therapeutic presence, sharpen your empathic attunement, and develop greater authenticity and openness, all of which will help you understand and support your clients more effectively.
