Raise awareness of the body as a place of protection against violence is one of my key professional priorities. This workshop, “Focusing, body and safety: Focusing for the prevention of violence” I combine my job more than a decade dedicated to protecting children against various types of violence (the last eight years Spiral Consulting Children) with technical power Focusing, which it has helped me both personally and professionally.

Focusing may provide a new way to create security in our lives through the body. All people we want to be treated well, with respect and consideration. However, witness violence at various levels frequently. If we are also in contact with children, and adolescents, both in our families and from our work, we see many situations of violence and ask ourselves how to prevent it. This workshop is geared to work so vivencial an operational concept of violence with an experiential base from the body. So we can identify violence from our body while we can act more clearly and protective way in our lives and in our professional field.

This workshop is aimed at people interested in learning more about how to manage violence from a safe position within the body, both personally and professionally (social intervention specialists from psychology, psychotherapy, social work, educación…). Focusing prior knowledge they are not needed (although it will be an advantage). This workshop is a recognized monograph for obtaining the Diploma in Focusing of Focusing Spanish Institute.

Date: sábado 11 November 2017 of 10:00 a 14:00 and of 16:00 a 20:00 and Sunday 12 November 2017 of 10:00 a 14:00.

From the Gene Gendlin death, the “father” del Focusing, last 1 May 2017, Focusing community has expressed its appreciation to the work and life of this great man, and I have had the honor of participating in three of these tributes.

Homage in Madrid by the Spanish Institute Focusing

31 May 2017 a meeting of tribute to Gene Gendlin coordinated by took place Isabel Gascón Tomillo Open Center in, Focusing a historical place in Madrid and Spain, where several developments have made us. In a meeting with people from near and far, and the presence in the distance of many others, We share a time to remember Gene Gendlin and all that has given us.

As a final gesture, Isabel prepare a sapling planted later along with others around the world Focusing on the Sierra de Madrid, in the house for us so many memories of formations, Summer Schools and National Conference Focusing.

The tree, Photos of Gene Gendlin and his wife, Mary Hendricks-Gendlin, and Isabel Gascón, Tomeu Barcelo and others.

Tribute at the Garrison Institute in New York by the International Conference Focusing Oriented Therapy 2017

Yolanda Bernárdez, Trainer and Spanish FOP, in front of the tree dedicated to Gene Gendlin at the Garrison Institute.

22 de junio de 2017, as part of the opening ceremony IV International Conference Focusing Oriented Therapy 2017, held at the Garrison Institute (Garrison, New York), there was a space to remember Gene Gendlin. For me it was an honor to participate in the first international event was made after the death of Gene Gendlin, and hear directly what they shared many people who had known him for decades, with anecdotes, details, learning and memory in general, and that resonated within me.

Y, curiously, He had also prepared a sapling (larger than Madrid) to plant at the Garrison Institute, an emblematic place of many formations of the international community Focusing, and where Gene Gendlin taught many times. The tree also served to hang all cards with good wishes for the conference we write between all participants and attended the plenary hall until the end.

official homage of the International Focusing Institute in New York

And this Saturday 12 August 2017 It took place the official ceremony by the International Focusing Institute (The International Focusing Institute, GIRLS) in New York City, but broadcast live and official attention to the chat participants from around the world. Despite the distance and electronic media, full service and subsequent discussions are available in full online (It has previous times and breaks included, so the tribute itself begins the minute 16 video).

There have been many special moments. Among them I would highlight:

• The vision that gave Gerry Gendlin, the son of Gene Gendlin, his father's, next, human, and a promise he made to comply: remind us all that Gene was divorced from his first wife and smoking, so that we are always aware that it was a human being with flaws and limitations (from 1 hour 23 minute video).
• The eight shared by Ann Weiser Cornell times, that condense much of the attitude of Gendlin in many areas of thought and generally Focusing (available from 1 hour 07 Video minutes).
• The open space where many people have shared, present or sending texts (Available from 3 hours 2 minutes 30 seconds).

I invite you to take a look at the video and that you can somehow join the tribute to the life and work of Gene Gendlin. You can also read more on page tribute to Gene Gendlin: www.eugenegendlin.com.

In deep respect and celebration,

Eugene Gendlin, official image of the International Focusing Institute.

Eugene (“Gene”) Gendlin has died yesterday 1 May 2017 ninety years old, and me, as the entire community of Focusing, I am moved by his death, and while grateful for all your contributions.

Eugene Gendlin was born 25 December 1926 in Vienna, Austria, and he escaped from Nazi persecution achieving reach US 1939. born American, He ended up graduating in philosophy and earned his doctorate after working for more than a decade in collaboration with Carl Rogers at the University of Chicago. The result of his dual training as a philosopher and as a psychotherapist, their contribution is extensive.

Gendlin always insisted that there had “created” the Focusing, a process of self-awareness and emotional and psychological healing through bodily sensations, but only “he had discovered a few steps to make the process more accessible”. It is now a tool used in psychotherapy and in many other areas. And all his discoveries are accompanied by a strong intellectual scaffolding, Philosophy of the Implicit.

In 1985 created what is now the International Focusing Institute (The International Focusing Institute) to give continuity to all these lines of work, which brings together more than 2000 professionals and supporters around the world, and where he has bequeathed his entire library that can be accessed online (the Gendlin Online Library).

Despite his advanced age, health problems and the death of his wife Mary Hendricks-Gendlin two years ago, Gendlin had remained active within its capabilities, writing articles and participating in training by phone.

In my case, Aside from having read his books and articles, I have had the pleasure and honor to participate in several “Conversations from the edge with Gene [Gendlin] In y [Weiser Cornell]”, the latter organized (watch my ideas September Conversation–October of 2016). For me it was a privilege to talk to him directly, with its warmth and brilliance despite their pain and difficulties, perceiving their interest in each person and the world, and very interested in knowing how his legacy continued. And I was impressed by his presence when he accompanied me on a process of focusing on one of the last conversations.

International Focusing Institute has enabled a special page that honor the memory of Gene Gendlin (www.EugeneGendlin.com), and from here I invite you to participate, Read other people's comments or add your own experiences. I certainly feel a lot of sadness at this loss, while I celebrate having met Gene Gendlin's work over the years and have been able to talk to him live on several occasions. I feel part of his legacy, and I hope to convey with warmth, inspired by him.

In celebration and mourning,

F. Javier Romeo

Upgrade 14 August 2017: I wrote an entry about three tributes to Gene Gendlin in which I participated, which completes the shared dimension at Community level.

It is for me an honor to have been invited to give a workshop on “Focusing and body dimension of violence” inside of Working day “Emotions and psychotherapy: Challenges and Applications”, organized by the Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid.

In psychotherapy practice we see many situations of violence, from the most subtle to the most intense, and especially its consequences. This workshop offers an experiential journey through experiential exercises based on Eugene Gendlin Focusing. This way we can get to identify violence from the body (also from the cognitive), an essential step to increase our effectiveness in preventing, detect and intervene in cases of violence (child abuse and its effects in adulthood, sexual abuse, gender violence…).

As everything in life, Focusing is learned by practicing.

Focusing practices are a fundamental space in the learning of Focusing. With a structure in three roles that rotate (who focuses, who accompanies and who observes), you learn from each of them, with a part of focusing and another part of shared comment, from a welcoming and curious environment (essential in Focusing), and under my supervision as a trainer. From the comments we all learn (I also), and we can take ideas for our own Focusing practice, when accompanying and focusing.
