Some sentences to try out when being trapped or stuck in/with pain – emotional or physical
Throughout our lives, we (will) all experience hardships and situations where we feel overwhelmed, trapped or stuck in and with pain, either of physical injury or pain, or of life experiences that are overwhelming and scary. Yes, of course, everyone does… When we do get stuck or trapped, it is often because our thinking about…
Holding (seeming) opposites
The other day I had (another, I might say) experience of the magic of being the one that holds (seeming) opposites, which is a feature of Focusing that I truly treasure. I think that one of the corners that (many of us) Westerners have painted ourselves into is the notion of “either-or”, “black-or-white”, “good-or-bad”, “shit-or-great”….

Having it together with – an example to illustrate the importance of togetherness between human beings
One thing that I am learning from Focusing, is this thing that I have started to call “having it together with”. In some counselling and psychology traditions, as well as in educational contexts, one talks about empathy, putting yourself in the other person’s shoes, and “seeing” the other person. To me “having together with”, is…
