These DVDs feature Dr. Gendlin's presentation at the 10th Anniversary International Focusing Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Focusing is a mode of inward bodily attention that is not yet known to most people. It differs from the usual attention we pay to feelings because it begins with the body and occurs in the zone between the conscious and the unconscious. Most people don't know that a bodily sense of any topic can be invited to come in that zone, and that one can enter into such a sense. At first it is only a vague discomfort, but soon it becomes a distinct sense with which one can work. Small steps of change emerge directly from this bodily sense.
