2. TAE Work Group

TFI invites you to join an on-line group of people who have been using TAE to develop their own theories in a safe and welcoming interaction. It is not a discussion list about TAE, it is a work group to support participants in actually doing a TAE Process. To subscribe, click here or go to http://lists.focusinglists.org/listinfo.cgi/tae-discuss-focusinglists.org

TAE is a method for explicating what you already know but have not been able to say. The process requires that you know Focusing. It begins with constellating a felt sense of a knowing which is bodily sensed but not yet symbolized. In the course of a TAE process people develop terms which let them speak from their “lived experience” in the world, and some people go further and develop theory. TAE can be used as a method in academic and research settings to create new kinds of variables that touch the “more” and carry forward living process, instead of killing the intricacy and trapping people in generalities or in only logical sequences. And perhaps most important it is our hope that TAE will give a voice to those who have been without one. Every person anywhere has something that they passionately care about and would want to articulate.
