The Interactive Focusing Model Short form for Dyads
By Dr. Janet Klein

(This brief outline is useful as a guide for Interactive Focusing work in pairs. Those who have taken a course will find it useful.)

Part One: The Focuser’s Story

  • The Focuser tells her story
  • The Listener gives reflections
  • The Focuser resonates and gives feedback if necessary

Part Two: The Double Empathic Moment

  • Full Empathic Response by both the Listener and Focuser

Part Three: The Interactive Response

  • Exchange roles and repeat Part One and Part Two

Part Four: The Interactive closing, The Relationship Check

  • How they now feel about each other and
  • How they now feel about themselves.

ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE

Interactive Focusing is a powerful process that teaches experientially how to be in right relationship both with oneself and other.  Right relationship embodies empathy, compassion, felt sense, deep listening and being present to oneself & other in the moment of interaction.It embraces all the values so cherished by the Focusing Community in all aspects of the Focusing process, such as partnerships meetings and group teachings.

It is different in that it is Interactive and it allows you to touch into your direct experience in the presence of another person in a safe empathic space which you create together in sharing your inner truth thereby building bonds of intimacy.  It also is a safe process for sharing troubled areas in relationships that are in need of healing into greater honesty & wholeness.
