39 Ideas For Life (Episode 31-39) Connecting with Ourselves Through Focusing - Interview Beth Mahler 39 Ideas For Life

- Self-Improvement
Last year, after completing my interview with John Casey about Journaling, we talked further after the recording and he told me about Focusing, a method for deeper self-knowledge and healing. Focusing is a practice which entails much more than merely concentrating on a single point. It’s not the conventional concept of focused attention. I became curious, and investigated this practice, which until then had remained unknown to me. At least in explicit terms, because the more I learnt about it, the more I realized that I’ve been doing this myself for quite some time without consciously being aware of the practice. To learn more about our bodily knowing, and the dialogue between our mind and body, I’ve decided to dive into Focusing.
Focusing is a technique for tapping into the bodily knowing, grounding ourselves, and to explore and experience our whole selves and what’s needed to find growth and healing.
To learn about this practice of Focusing, I have talked to Beth Mahler, a Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist, and a practitioner and teacher of Focusing for many years. Beth has been a psychotherapist for over 19 years and is also Adjunct Professor Sociology of Death and Grief at William Paterson University of New Jersey.
Anyone interested in getting to know themselves better will greatly enjoy this episode, and appreciate all the knowledge and examples shared by Beth Mahler. I know I did!
