Focusing and Sexuality

 Crossing Focusing and sexuality

Why is there no Focusing orientation in sexual therapy?
Why do felt senses in the pelvic area appear so rarely in the natural flow...

Whose restraint is it

"Y is married to a terrible woman", I think to myself in the middle of a mass event. "He is such a sweet and gentle man, what is he doing with her?" I keep wondering...

  Inside and outside

People usually don’t feel comfortable to discuss sexuality even though this is one of the things that occupies us the most. Just like our weight and the money we earn, we don’t talk about it, but we think about it, a lot...

Raping Myself
 

When we talk about passion within a relationship, we focus on quantity: how many times a week do you do it? The number counts, statistics says it all: more or less...

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.

 

5. Listening to the genitals: A guided exercise to help us stay with a FS in the sexual organs. 

 

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.
