"Focusing" (book)

"Focusing" is a self-help method developed by Eugene Gendlin that encourages individuals to tune into their bodily felt sense—an internal, physical awareness of emotions and thoughts—and use it as a guide for personal insight and problem-solving. By gently paying attention to this subtle bodily sensation, people can uncover hidden feelings, clarify confusing issues, and facilitate emotional healing. The process involves gently exploring these sensations without judgment, allowing solutions or understanding to emerge naturally. Essentially, "Focusing" helps bridge the mind and body to foster greater self-awareness and emotional clarity.
