Felt Sense Body Cards Workshop (Recording Only)

US$19.00

In this two-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and use felt sense body cards in your Focusing practice.

Felt sense body cards (body cards for short) are a way of capturing our Focusing experiences—whether a whole session, or we can use multiple body cards to capture sections of a session. This can be how the felt sense was at the beginning, and then how the felt sense was after the felt shift. Or we can capture different parts of our personality with a body card.

The back of the body cards are also used to draw images that come to us in Focusing. The workshop will cover the different ways images, as handles, can carry forward our felt sense.

The workshop will also include some ways we can classify our Focusing experiences using models like Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz) or the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (Jan Winhall).

Finally, the workshop will include two guided Focusing experiences for you to then record with some felt sense body cards, followed by some breakout room practice to further unfold your experiences. The two guided Focusing experiences will be:

  1. to connect to a positive memory, to then capture this resourcing energy.

  2. to be with an issue, and possibly notice the different parts that are involved in the issue (this could including naming them with a handle and classifying them according to one of the frameworks presented, or you can sense into your own).

You will receive the felt sense body cards to record your experience during the workshop, and the slides afterwards.

What People Have said about our 101 Workshop:

“Great! This two-hour workshop gave me exactly what I wanted, which was a deeper understanding of the process and more importantly seeing it in action. Nothing beats having a direct experience. Thank you, Annette, for your knowledge, patience and kindness.”
–Alan Ross, Psychotherapist, UK

“The Focusing 101 Workshop gave me an invaluable tool to use in my practice. Feelings and associations that were lurking under the surface for years were finally able to emerge when I used the focusing practice I learned with Annette in this simple 2 hour course. I'd been looking for a way to "bring out" people's felt sense in sessions, but somehow I often felt the opportunity slip through my fingers during sessions. Now, when I sense that there's something that my client needs to "feel" into his or her awareness, I have a script with prompts, concrete ideas of questions to ask and an understanding of a unique form of listening, and something amazing emerges almost every time.”
–Esther M, New York

"I had a wonderful experience observing how you listen during the demonstration, and the words and intonation you speak. After that, my Focusing that I'm doing alone has changed. It is hard to explain but after our one-on-one session and workshop I internalized your voice and intonation, and now when I'm focusing alone it helps me move forward."
–Roman Matsaienko, Ukraine

“Having taken part in Annettes' 101 Workshop I felt that this helped me deepen my understanding of the process and practice of Focusing. I liked the way Annette gave us enough information and allowed and encouraged us to experience the practice too. For me this was just the right balance and I really enjoyed being part of this group learning.

I feel confident in recommending these workshops to anyone who has just begun their investigation into the value of Focusing and anyone who may be further on their path and needs to progress with guidance and support in a friendly and open group.

Thanks Annette, I really appreciate your caring guidance and support.”
–Mark This. Facilitator. UK.
