RECOVERY FOCUSING

Are you a Counselor working in the field of addiction?

Would you like to facilitate groups that consistently have a positive shift forward, groups that bring you great joy and satisfaction?

Do you wish you had a way of processing issues that allows you to find clarity and an inner sense of serenity, despite outer stressors?

Are you a 12 Stepper?

Would you like to bring some freshness and movement into your recovery Program?

Ever long for a new practice that can enliven and lighten up your life with deeply-felt energy and satisfaction?

Join me on an exciting adventure into your own inner FEEL of Recovery during one of two intensely alive workshops.

1. STEPPING STONES TO HEALING: Discovering our Inner Experience of Recovery

2. H.OW. TO FACILITATE RECOVERY FOCUSING GROUPS

Each of these courses explores the nature of the addictive (skipped) process with Felt Sensing.

These highly enjoyable workshops will enable you to:

Access inner Resourcing practices that ground us in well being.
Sense into each Step (or Principle) of Recovery while learning practical tools for living.
Enjoy the rich and thick FEEL of the BEST OF RECOVERY.
Discover the Power of Focusing while learning several aspects of it.

These webinar courses run for 10 consecutive weekly sessions via Zoom conferencing.

BENEFITS

Felt Sensing frees us to move forward in our life and to have a compassionate, creative relationship with ourselves and others.

It enables us to ground ourselves in Presence to process feelings and situations in a safe, spacious way, gaining access to our body's inner wisdom.

We heal old wounds and begin truly loving life and living as our authentic self.

We learn how to listen fully and tenderly to another person in a safe, compassionate way.

We simply feel better!

WHAT: Both the Recovery Focusing course and the Stepping Stones to Healing course will

Use my H.O.W. We Heal model for group process. We will

Resource ourselves with a positive felt experience;
Dip into the addictive pattern we are exploring; and
Welcome the wonderful feel of Recovery each time!

I will introduce and discuss a new Focusing Practice for each workshop; such as, the P.A.U.S.E., Felt Listening; Clearing a Space, Self Empathy, Facilitative Language, Shift Questions, etc. Suggestions for ways to apply Focusing to our daily life will be sent in writing after each workshop in addition to the workshop notes.

RECOVERY FOCUSING

This 10 session Webinar INTENSIVE will

Enable 12 Steppers to feel into the Principles of the Steps in this new, amazing, bodily-felt way;
Help non-12 Steppers understand and experience the Steps;
Teach you H.O.W. to Facilitate these kinds of Wellness Circles.
Show you how to integrate Felt Sensing into your life to unblock your aliveness and joy.
Enable you to sustain a healthy, egalitarian, mutually-supportive Focusing Partnership.

I facilitated Recovery Focusing groups two to four times a week at Costa Rica Recovery Center for six years and have been teaching these H.O.W. to Facilitate Recovery Focusing Groups courses for over ten years.

Each group experience leaves me and the clients feeling light, refreshed, free from tension, and with a powerful feel of the best of recovery.

I now am devoted to teaching people H.O.W. To Facilitate these groups while exploring a personal pattern that is difficult to change.

STEPPING STONES TO HEALING/H.O.W. to Facilitate Recovery Focusing Groups.

This 10-session course borrows strategies from Dr. Robert Lee's Changing the Unchangeble workshop, combines them with my H .O. W. We Heal Model, and adds some of the principles of Twelve Step Recovery without using the language or Steps. This is for non-Twelve Steppers who wish to explore their addictive process with Focusing and Felt Listening in a group.

WHEN: Course starts Friday, September 30th, 2022 at 9 a.m. Eastern.

Each Telephone conference workshop is two hours long (though some may be much shorter if the group is small).

We will be using Zoom which is simple to use via your computer or telephone.

Each workshop will be recorded in case you have to miss one.

You will receive a document after each workshop highlighting the functions and principles of the Stepping Stone (or Step) and of the Focusing movements practiced. This document will offer suggestions for applications of Focusing in your daily life.

We will be Focusing in a group way, so that we can benefit from the group experience and the group's inner wisdom.

You will receive a Certificate of Participation from me, and a PDF version of my "Recovery Focusing Manual."

Felt Sensing into Recovery enables us to live it, now, and experience its wonderful feel inside us, with our whole being.

It's a natural high!

By enabling us to connect to our deeper knowing, to others, and to a greater sense of "all that is,”

Recovery Focusing strengthens, enhances, and moves our Recovery forward dramatically yet gently.

For experienced 12 Steppers, RECOVERY FOCUSING offers you an eight-week training program in

FOCUSING PARTNERSHIP FOR CO-SPONSORSHIP.

Focusing Partnership is the practice of processing issues and situations in your life which need attention

with another Focuser who is your safe listener, and to whom you listen when s/he Focuses.

It is an egalitarian relationship of mutual support that enables us to gain rapid insights
and to find solutions/action steps that shift us into a deeper sense of serenity.

Learning Focusing Partnership skills will enable you to process issues in your life that need attention WHILE YOU LEARN a skill that can be practiced with any other Focuser in the future.

Best of all, you will be heard, listened to by a safe, caring companioning.

This listening will enable you to go deeper into your experiencing to find more precious meaning.

It serves as an introduction to both the 12 Steps and to Focusing. It is not meant to replace a traditional Twelve Step Fellowship.
