I have just come back from the first BFA Focusing community camp and I am totally inspired…
Each workshop brought fresh new understanding and discoveries. I left the workshop wanting to explore what it means to me, and how I may take my new learnings forward.
How Focusing helps you with overcoming self doubt.
A reader asks, How can I best use Focusing to deal with the problem of overcoming self doubt, that often appears relentlessly during Focusing, meditation or when just trying to relax; and it prevents me ever being able to be fully at ease with myself, let alone others?
Question – My thinking mind can turn into the critical inner voice which I really don’t want to listen to anymore.
‘In the past I’ve listened to my critical inner voice over and over again. Now I try to pull it up like a weed. Do I really want to let that part of me see that it has good reason to be there, when I am Focusing?’
‘I want to get beyond this terrible feeling of being a failure.’
Failure in life can hit you at any time. When it does, Focusing can help you deal with your emotions.
S. says ‘How do I deal with my emotions? I want to get beyond this terrible feeling of being a failure.
Focusing with something that isn’t there – being with something that is implied.
A Focusing student asks, ‘Sometimes I feel I am being criticised, and yet no-one outside of me is criticising. It’s just a general feeling I get, that I am not doing it right, and so I feel a failure and this makes things worse. It reminds me how I felt at school.
‘I wish I didn’t feel like that’
Someone tells me she doesn’t feel at all friendly with herself, when she is caught in a self-destructive repetitive pattern. She really wishes it wasn’t there. She wants to get rid of it because she can see how it is hurting her or damaging her life.
