A deep sense of honour and a distinct feeling of humility and shyness come to me when I share this interview. I can feel clearly the responsibility of talking about the work I do about “Focusing and how to work experientially with violence”, as the title of the conversation says. It is an important subject for me (I work a lot about it through Spirals tus me nyuam consulting, the international consulting firm specializing in Child Protection I co-founded), and trying to convey all its nuances is always a challenge.
Rau lub koom haum thoob ntiaj teb Focusing (the organization that coordinates internationally Focusing activities related to training and diffusion) fosters bimonthly “Conversations” with Focusing professionals all over the world. Serge Prengel, a Focusing Trainer and Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapist that I met at the International Focusing Conference 2016 in Cambridge (uk), acts as the host, and he does so in a very Focusing way –reflecting, with pauses, letting new ideas appear and develop in their own time.
In this “Conversation” you will find discussed issues like the following ones:
- Violence as a stopped process (“Something should have happened to carry forward a situation, and it did not occur, so the process gets stuck”).
- Harm defines violence, and harm is lived from the body.
- Finding a handle for violence (identifying it) is the first step out of it: becoming aware of our cultural patterns that normalize violence.
- The role of power in violence.
- Affection linked to care as a way to avoid violence –and the bodily dimension that can be reached through Focusing.
- Violence detection and intervention in Child Protection.
- A message of hope about healing and transforming violence, and Focusing as a wonderful tool to do it.
I hope that you will find an idea or two that might inspire your own experiential work about violence, and I will love to hear from you about it.
