At its heart, Focusing is a way of listening — listening inwardly, to the quiet felt sense that forms in the body beneath words, images, or thoughts. Developed by philosopher and psychotherapist Eugene Gendlin, Focusing grew out of research into what actually helps people change. He found that those who could pause, sense into their experience, and stay with what was not yet fully clear — those were the people who realized growth and change.
This capacity can be learned. And that is what Focusing offers: a practice that helps you listen inwardly with respect and curiosity, until something fresh and life-giving begins to unfold.
Focusing can help you:
Curious about Focusing? Let’s begin with a free discovery call.
Over time, Focusing has continued to evolve. Focusing teachers Ann Weiser Cornell, who studied directly under Eugene Gendlin, and Barbara McGavin jointly developed Inner Relationship Focusing, a way of approaching the inner life with radical gentleness and compassion. Instead of trying to push away, analyze, or change what we find inside, we meet it with respect and kindness.
This changes everything. The very places in us that may feel stuck, critical, or wounded begin to soften and reveal their own wisdom when they are treated with compassion and curiosity. Inner Relationship Focusing helps us cultivate a reliable “inner home” where all parts of us are welcome.
I feel deeply fortunate to be training directly with Ann and Barbara. Their teaching is shaping the way I bring this practice to others, and I am currently offering sessions at a special reduced rate while I complete my certification. This makes now a wonderful time to experience the power of Focusing for yourself.
Though Focusing can certainly be used within the psychotherapy context, Focusing in and of itself is not psychotherapy.
This website is dedicated solely to teaching and guiding Inner Relationship Focusing. If you are looking for psychotherapy services, please visit my therapy website at kimbeckertherapy.com.
As I complete the certification process in Inner Relationship Focusing, I'm currently offering reduced session rates for a limited time. This is a unique opportunity to experience this transformative work at a lower cost while I complete my training.
