Gendlin's Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy

Gendlin's Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy is a gentle, client-centered approach that helps individuals access and understand their inner felt senses—subtle bodily awareness of emotions and thoughts. By paying attention to these bodily signals, clients can clarify complex feelings, resolve inner conflicts, and foster personal growth. The therapist guides the client in developing a mindful, compassionate stance toward these sensations, facilitating deeper self-awareness and emotional clarity. This method emphasizes the body's wisdom as a key resource for healing and decision-making, empowering clients to achieve greater authenticity and well-being.
