Conversations: December 2009: Bala Jaison

Bala Jaison Certifying Coordinator and Focusing Oriented Psychotherapist

Bala Jaison's Bio: Psychotherapist for individuals, couples, families, and Director of Focusing For Creative Living, a Government Recognized Educational Institution offering Focusing training for therapists, mental health and medical professionals, Conflict Resolution for business, the Peacemaker’s Program for children and teachers, as well as courses for non-therapists. As a Certifying Coordinator for the Focusing Institute, I also offer Focusing Oriented Therapy Certification programs. My passion: integrating the best of Experiential and Brief therapy combining (I hope!) the best of Focusing Oriented and Solution Oriented Therapy called SOFT (Solution Oriented Focusing Therapy) and the motivation for the book: Integrating Experiential and Brief Therapy: How To Do Deep Therapy – Briefly and How To Do Brief Therapy – Deeply (translated into Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese). I travel extensively teaching the SOFT approach to therapists in both North America and abroad. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Eugene Gendlin, Mary McGuire, and the Focusing Institute.

The recording lasts about 30 minutes.

To listen to this recording, you can either: Right-click on the link to "Download MP3" link, and save the conversation to your computer. You can then listen to it on your computer or on any portable MP3 device.   You can also listen to this recording from the website, without downloading it. Use the audio player below.  It works like a regular tape recorder, with symbols for "play," and "pause."

Please note: If you don’t see an audio player graphic immediately below the heading "Flash Player", this means you do not have Flash installed on your computer.  In that case, you can either download Flash or you can save the file to your computer and play it there or on an MP3 player. The online Flash player works best if you have a broadband connnection (cable or DSL), as opposed to dial-up. It may take a moment for the buttons to appear. To start, press the play button. Once it has started, to pause, press the pause button. The sound level is NOT controlled from the player.  It is controlled from within your computer.  If you do not normally use sound, it may be muted.  On most Windows computers go to the "Control Panel," click on "Sound" and adjust the volume.  If you have external speakers, make sure they are on and the volume is adjusted properly.
