Through training, you will learn various Focusing styles and Felt Sense-based art practices to help your clients and participants express their feelings in nonverbal ways

Clients often experience inner stoppages. In addition to Focusing, imaginary spaces and alternative world experiences may be beneficial for them. This is especially true when clients feel stuck due to structure-bound experiencing

They can find real-life solutions through unexpected and unpredictable experiences that are effective, sensory-based and playful. Arts that are based on the Felt Sense concept are known to facilitate such experiences

Clients can find assistance through our Arts in Focusing tool kits. These kits promote creative activities that are easy to do and require little skills, yet produce highly sensitive results

Training and practice in Arts in Focusing does not require any artistic talent or prior knowledge

Hands-on Methods

At teaching Arts in Focusing, we offer a variety of hands-on methods that can be customized for your target audience and work setting, wether clinical or non-clinical. Some examples are listed below:

Expressive Portraying: Doing a one-line blind draw from faces as a warm up and to connect with the inner self

Embodied Doodling: Energizing the body through spontaneous repetitive art activities for stress release and grounding

Felt Art Journaling: Processing difficult emotions, issues or intentions through multiple layers of artistic expression from the body sense

Museum Art-Based Engagement: Receptive-active art activities that respond to fine arts from the Felt Sense, finding aesthetic connection and deeper meaning

Experiential Collaging (Prof. Dr. Akira Ikemi) and Phototherapy (Prof. Dr. Kathrin Seifert): Find and explore meaning through action-oriented art expression using Felt Sensing

Experiential Dynamic Shape Drawing (DSD): Get Focused through the drawing of rhythmical moving and swinging lines while breathing for warm-up and pre-post enquiry

Bilateral Body Mapping/Guided Drawing®: Release intense body sensations, emotions, and trauma response (Sensorimotor Art Therapy®)

In Focusing, we cannot make things happen. All we can do is to be with what comes. When something comes, it is vulnerable and worthy of protection. It needs kindness and acceptance. It grows through loving care for the very small and with respect for the very big that comes from the body's next right step. From there, we are guided as to whether to express or to keep company in silence

We recommend TIFI Focusing Professionals for becoming a Coordinator-in-Training and subsequently a TIFI Certifying Coordinator
