About this listen
Here is a breakthrough method of “unlocking the wisdom within your body” to solve specific problems and achieve dramatic personal growth and change. This original, innovative program of self-therapy enables you to tap into your deepest level of wisdom, the “gut-level” knowledge that already exists within your body. By accessing this subliminal body-mind awareness (or “felt sense”) that lies beyond thoughts and feelings, you can get to the root of the conflicts within you, gain a fuller comprehension of your unresolved problems, and solve them.
What is focusing? It is a technique of self-therapy that teaches you to identify and change the way your personal problems concretely exist in your body. Unlike methods that stress “getting in touch with your feelings”, there is a built-in test: each focusing step, when done correctly, is marked by a physical relief, a profound release of tension. Focusing guides you to the deepest level of awareness within your body. It is on this level, unfamiliar to most people, that unresolved problems actually exist, and only on this level can they change.
Both a practical guide and a powerful philosophy of personal growth, this effective, proven procedure has wide-ranging applications, including healing, education, business, creative pursuits, and problem solving.

Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

Great Focusing Guidance Tool
For those who expect this to be the audio of Gendlin's little "Focusing" book, it isn't. But it is an amazing gem, that walks the listener step-by-step through the focusing process. This is actually perfect for new focusers so they can listen, pause the audio and implement the instructions at their own pace, uninterrupted and unobstructed. I think it's a very valuable, short narrative for individuals who want to practice focusing without a partner.

Misleading TItle
This is NOT the book Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin. This is a very very brief introduction and demonstration of the method.
If you are expecting to hear the actual book is nearly 200 pages long, DO NOT BUY this.
