Focusing is a bodily oriented method of self-awareness, change and growth. It involves feeling into our bodies and receiving the messages they have to give us about the situations we are experiencing. It is a process that helps us to understand ourselves and our emotions more deeply, to creatively solve the problems we face, and to make positive changes in our lives. 

This book, in a simple and straightforward way, is for anyone interested in starting or continuing a journey of self-awareness and emotional healing. It can be of substantial help to anyone involved in the healing process - either in the role of the therapist or the role of the client. As the author describes, for therapists Focusing can be a very useful tool that significantly enhances their work. While for clients it can make the therapeutic process deeper and more effective.
