Experiential courses for therapists

Serge Prengel offers two courses in Focusing-oriented therapy (FOT) that help you add a more embodied, experiential dimension to your work. They help you hone clinical skills such as deep listening, felt-sensing, moment-by-moment attention to process, self-regulation, and co-regulation.

They train you to deepen the client’s process in a safe and respectful way, informed by neuroscience and a somatic approach to trauma.

In each course, the training itself is experiential, interweaving personal process, supervision, and conceptual learning.

These are small classes (5 to 12 people) to ensure that everybody is actively involved.

These courses are suitable for all levels of Focusing experience, including therapists who have no prior knowledge of Focusing.

Each of the two courses has a specific theme:
The embodied & relational edge of FOT trains you to creatively work with embodied experience.
The mindful & proactive edge of FOT trains you to foster a mindful, proactive space for change.

You can take each course on its own or as one of the four courses of the Integrative Focusing Therapy training, leading to certification by the International Focusing Institute.
