Focusing by Eugene T. Gendlin is a psychology guidebook that introduces a six-step technique for accessing your felt sense (intuitive body sensations) to understand and resolve emotional issues. Felt Sense is a subtle, yet deeply felt physical sensation in the body that carries emotional meaning about our life situations, beyond mere conscious feelings (fear, anger, sadness). This technique teaches you how to listen to your body to release tension, increase self-awareness, and create profound emotional change. Calming yourself and creating distance from your problems releases physical and psychological tension, provides clarity, and facilitates therapeutic self-change.
