If you are a therapist, a coach or counselor you are probably working with people to help them gain awareness of how they live in the world and how they would like to live in the world; how they stop themselves from reaching what they want in their life and you help them get to where they want.
From years of experience working with people as a therapist and a coach I found that change takes inner listening that involves your body.
Many therapists have shared with me how their work has deepened and how much change they have observed after implementing Proactive Focusing in their practice. When applying the concepts of Proactive Focusing, you can help your client connect with his or her inner conflicts, learn to be with the conflicting parts rather than become these parts, keep these places company as you find out what it is they need from you to help them move forward. The surprising thing is that as we do this, new knowledge comes to us. Knowledge that we would not get to by merely thinking about these conflicted places in us. Proactive Focusing introduces the Helping Professional to the belief in the natural forward movement process. If clients listen to their process they will know how to move forward. We the professionals are guides; we do not have the answers for our clients |
