#WiseGirl, w/ Francesca Maxime, meditation teacher, poet, journalist

In today's #WiseGirl video podcast, I talk with Dr. Ann Weiser Cornell about what exactly IS Focusing and the felt sense, the "something in you" that you can say hello to, how Focusing can help get to the core of addictions and relationship issues, and how this is a practice we can not only explore, but cultivate.

***

Dr. Cornell is an American author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self-inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin.

She has written several definitive books on Focusing, including The Power of Focusing: A Practical Guide to Emotional Self-Healing, The Focusing Student's and Companion's Manual, and Focusing in Clinical Practice. 

Cornell received a PhD in Linguistics in 1975 at the University of Chicago. While still a graduate student there, she met psychologist Eugene Gendlin, and learned the psychotherapeutic technique he had discovered and developed, called Focusing.

Cornell has taught Focusing around the world since 1980, and has developed a system and technique called Inner Relationship Focusing.
