THE SIX STEPS OF THERAPEUTIC TRANSFORMATION
What creates change in therapy?
6 class introductory series in Focusing-Oriented Conversations
with Charlotte Howorth LCSW
This course is designed for therapists, counsellors, coaches, and focusing professionals who are new to Focusing, as well as practitioners who work relationally and somatically who may be familiar with focusing and who want a more clinically grounded and relationally nuanced understanding of the work.
A therapy session is a kind of dance - between therapist and client, between the client and their own inner process, between what is known and what is only beginning to stir. Several tracks are often alive at once: the relational field, the emerging felt sense, the forward movement, the therapist's own resonance.
These workshops help you become more at home in that complexity - not by simplifying it, but by developing a richer feel for each of its dimensions - raising awareness, sensitivity and the skills to move in each.
Eugene Gendlin's six steps of focusing have long served as resonant handles into the subtle border between words and the larger dimension of the wordless. Inspired by them, I've developed a parallel set of six steps for Focusing Oriented Therapy - not a rigid protocol, but a map of the essential movements that make a session come alive. They're offered in Gendlin's spirit - not as technique, but as doorways into a process that is experiential, relational, and always unfolding.
We miss the essence of therapy when we reduce it to instructions. These workshops are about something else - the heart of Focusing Oriented Therapy - as a way of thinking and being. Not only what we do, but how, why, and from what place.
