Chapter 9: Accessing and Allowing Experiencing

9.4.1. Exercise: Clearing a Space

 


 

It is useful to practice Clearing a Space both on your own and with others in training workshops.  As with regular Focusing, a trainer can introduce Clearing a Space to a group of trainees, but working one-on-one or on your own is generally more effective, because it allows for greater flexibility in carrying out the task.  Next, it’s a good idea to work in small groups, taking turns in therapist role and client roles.
