Cultivating Felt Sense Awareness in Clincal Practice

An opportunity to learn FOCUSING--an experiential, embodied way of accessing meaning that lives beneath words

Presented by Jake Thiessen, PhD

By the end of the day, participants will be able to:

Define the felt sense and its significance in emotional processing.
Lead clients through the core steps of a Focusing process.
Integrate Focusing into existing modalities (EFT, IFS, psychodynamic, somatic, trauma-informed work).
Apply Focusing to regulation, insight, and emotional stuckness.
Use Focusing within the therapeutic relationship—tracking resonance, presence, and intersubjectivity.

Using your own felt sense of a client's experience enables deeper empathy.

Although everyone has experienced the felt sense, most don't identify it and use it.

Helping clients attain and maintain curiosity about their circumstance promotes desired change.
