“I have always considered myself a very emotionally distant person, even from myself.  Focusing has offered me a practice and method of turning inward and learning about parts of myself that have been silent or “acting out” in my real life all the time.  I appreciate and benefit, with each focusing session, the gentle compassionate curiosity this method encourages when we look inward.  I feel a deeper sense of self-nurturing to all those voices and images inside that would like a little attention.  As I learn more about my full self this in turn opens lines of creative flow in my work as a potter and my life as a friend, lover, sister, and daughter.”
