"I am tremendously happy with the program. It seems like a complete success and very well implemented. I have found two focusing partners."
Many people all over the country have a focusing partnership. This means that they receive a half hour of attention from another person, and then they give the person a half hour of their attention, at least once a week at a regular time, either in person or on the phone.
Most people use the time to work on their main concerns that day, which might be inner experiences, their attempts to develop as people, or a difficult letter to write, the next thing to do in one’s work, or whatever one finds uppermost.
Your partner offers no advice, no judgments, no comments. We have learned that people can go deeper and arrive at creative steps forward, if the listener refrains from adding anything in. Judgments, advice and comments express the person who is giving them, not the person to whom one is listening. Your partner will not say that your talk is superficial, or that it doesn’t make sense, or that you are wrong, weak, or selfish, nor will the partner praise one thing and condemn another thing in you, or in what you say. We only say what we want to.
Our partnership program is open to anyone with experience or training in Focusing partnership. If you click on the Request a Partner link, our questionnaire will help you determine if you have that experience. If you do not, we have a coaching program that can help you get started in a partnership after just two sessions, which can be done on the phone. Many people find it helpful to have more Focusing and listening training beyond the two sessions, and skilled and experienced Focusing trainers are available in many countries around the world.
