I was just gathering material for the upcoming Advanced Focusing Course participants, a course that will focus on how to support real and lasting change within our clients. The personal stories from the latest focusing journal, the FOLIO are such inspiring examples of how focusing leads to transformation, I thought you might all be interested. Here is a link to FOLIO editor Paula Nowick’s dramatic story of how focusing helped her to come to terms with her son’s devastating addiction. The story illustrates well how sometimes when you can’t change a situation, the best thing to do is change how you are within it, and the the route to this kind of shift is not through things you might ordinarily try.
If you want to read more stories like this one, the entire issue is available for free on the Focusing Institute web site. Included are 47 personal stories of how focusing led to a major ‘aha’ moment.
