Freda is both very professional and compassionate. She brings a distinctive approach to the world of Focusing, blending negative moments with positive ones to create a new synthesis. This could be a hidden feature of German culture, but her approach has worked so well in practice that I am enthusiastic about it. There is an implicit tenderness in it that we should all experience
Creative Compassion Workshop, Community Empowerment Help for Helpers
Emanuela, philosopher, Focusing Trainer, IT
I took part in Freda Blob's workshop, 'Arts-Based Self-Focusing for Supporting Clients in Trauma-Informed Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy'. I want to say that Freda's workshop was very professional. The combination of art therapy and Focusing created new ways to carry Focusing forward. I will be able to use this valuable experience in my daily work. Thank you, Freda!

Alissa, PhD, psychologist, art therapist, Focusing Practitioner, UA
I was surprised that Focusing helped me sit with my body's sensations and embrace where I felt uncomfortable. It made me realize that my body can tell what it needs. I was surprised that the answer was so obvious. It was as if I didn't want to notice it and pushed it out of my mind. Now I feel connected. Thank you!

Felt Art Journaling Workshop Series
Ingrid, systhemic therapist, consultant, GER
I feel much more relaxed and comfortable now. I'm much more relaxed than when I arrived. I came here feeling afraid. I didn't know what to expect. This is the first time I've done anything with the arts. I don't know how to do anything artistic. But I thought, 'Why not give it a try?' Everything was so easygoing and free. I didn't have to do any art exercises. I could do whatever I wanted. I could play with colors, express myself, or sit and watch in silence. This was so good!
