S.H.I.F.T: Sexual Healing in Focusing Therapy

 

10 zoom sessions for learning and deepening into 

sexual issues through focusing.

With Kati Kimchi

 

Wednesdays 3/3/21-5/5/21 16:30-20:00 Israel Time

 

​

The connection between focusing and sexual therapy is a deep personal and professional exploration journey. 

S.H.I.F.T is a new connection born out of necessity: the sexual world's need for a delicate and nonjudgmental space, along with the need to aid focusing facilitators holding sexual issues.

 

S.H.I.F.T course includes 10 online sessions that will help focusing facilitators to connect with issues related to sexuality in their personal life and in a focusing clinic.

 

During the course we will touch some of the main topics in this type of work and focus on the way they touch our personal lives.

 

Syllabus

 

1. The facilitator’s prior assumptions regarding sexuality: The forces and theories from which we operate (conscious and unconscious)

 

2. Blockages in the process: Motion versus resistance and fear of change 

 

3. The forces at work in the field of sexuality: Polarities, shame, guilt and fear. 

 

4. Concealing versus exposure: Creating a safe space for ourselves, for the clients and for their most hidden parts.

6. Demonstration of a guided session

 

7. Passion: Power, pleasure, and danger 

 

8. Sexual Trauma: What is the difference between the story of the body and the story of the mind.

 

9. Porn and fantasy: The deep needs behind sexual fantasies

 

10. Closing Session: Looking into the next step.
