The Proficieny in Focusing Partnership Award is granted by The International Focusing Institute (TIFI) and gives you access to the TIFI membership and partnership pool.

This track is for those who only wish to learn enough to be able to use the process for themselves and exchange Focusing with a partner who also knows Focusing and Listening (Felt Sensing and With-Sensing).

If you want to be eligible for the training to become a Certified Focusing Professional (CFP), you will be required to take the full Felt Sensing and With-Sensing Training.

If you wish to bring Felt Sensing/Focusing into your client work, it is recommended that you take the full Felt Sensing and With-Sensing training, consisting of the two modules.
