What are the Benefits of Focusing?

Focusing helps to change where our lives are stuck. The felt shift that occurs during Focusing is good for the body, and is correlated with better immune functioning. More than 100 research studies have shown that Focusing is teachable and effective in many settings. Focusing decreases depression and anxiety and improves the relation to the body.

Through learning to rest our awareness in the body we begin to see that it has something new to say about our lives and maybe about life itself. Through turning towards and embracing our experience, with curiosity and openness, what is stuck can become free, what needs to be heard can be heard, and what needs to unfold can unfold.





“Focusing will enable you to find and change where your life is stuck, cramped, hemmed in, slowed down. 
And it will enable you to change – to live from a deeper place than just your thoughts and feelings”

Eugene Gendlin
