The Power of Focusing: A Practical Guide to Emotional Self-Healing Review: Best way to learn Focusing - I am a longtime Focuser. Gendlin's original 6 step instructions (Focusing 1978) work well. I used them for decades. But this book by Cornell, was written by compiling many years of experience in teaching it to many types of folk and her discussions with other experienced Focusing teachers. It presents the process more organically and more simply. Gendlin's book, Focusing, is still important and presents the process with a little more background and more explanation in terms of its relationship to other ways of knowing the world. What neither book does however, is place Focusing in its broader relationship to Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy. While Gendlin's later book, A Process Model, does some of this, I am still looking for a clearer discussion of how Gendlin's unique work is founded on the holistic, process philosophy of Whitehead - especially Whitehead's brilliant phenomenology of "concresence." While the felt sense and felt shift are applicable to just about every human project, it would be helpful if someone would write the book that makes these connections. As it stands now, you can discover those connections by delving deep into Gendlin's other essays and Whitehead's own exceedingly dense philosophical system. Felt sense knowing is so much broader in application than just within psychology. Review: if feelings are hard to deal with, this may help you. - this is a rare book that you can actually get some healing just from reading it. the title says it all. ann weiser cornell writes in a style that helps you pay attention inside yourself as you are reading it and feel what she is talking about, if you pay close enough attention to yourself as you read it. it is not like most other self help books where you go to the end of the chapter and do some exercises which i personally don't like to do. it takes too much time. this book is very effective. just by reading it you experience what she is describing. for me, focusing is an easy and very effective technique to learn to understand your self and your feelings better. it is a very easy to read, practical. and very short length book. i think you will enjoy it and get great value from it. i know i did. i have had a lot of trauma from childhood that has really made it difficult for me to access feelings and this is one of the best techniques i have found. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #99,420 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #68 in Popular Psychology Psychotherapy #2,452 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (208) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 0.5 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 157224044X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1572240445 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 1996 | | Publisher | New Harbinger Publications | ## Images ![The Power of Focusing: A Practical Guide to Emotional Self-Healing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bmBw2LF-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best way to learn Focusing *by D***H on July 23, 2023* I am a longtime Focuser.

It looked promising, but difficult, and too good to be true. I picked up Gendlin's book and was unimpressed. I was turned off by these absurd assumptions he made. Such as how Focusing will soon make psychotherapy obsolete. And how it was sold too much as a self-help technique, and brief therapy. And what I saw as an overly high focus on grand experiences and releases. It seemed like that same fallacy I see when some thinker finds something new, and suddenly takes it too far, as if they have THE answer. I have to say that this book has none of the above flaws or dumb assumptions. This author seems to have thought long and hard about teaching Focusing effectively. It is a short self-help book. But the author emphasizes how Focusing can be used in conjunction with therapy, or other life events that require looking into oneself. It is accessible without being cheezy or shallow. The tips and descriptions help very much to clarify the subtle process of Focusing. Many practices talk themselves up as if it all you need, such as this or that meditative path, or this or that therapy. Focusing is very flexible and can be used with the contemplative and psychological methods of inner change, very effectively. This book is highly recommended. Forget Gendlin's book. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Power of Focusing: A Practical Guide to Emotional Self-Healing - Focusing - Your Body Knows the Answer: Using Your Felt Sense to Solve Problems, Effect Change, and Liberate Creativity --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/18516877-the-power-of-focusing-a-practical-guide-to-emotional-self](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/18516877-the-power-of-focusing-a-practical-guide-to-emotional-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
