If Eugine Genglin wasn’t a therapist how would he have gotten involved in the whole testing of therapeutic success, or created the therapeutic terminology , felt sense , and created a modality that was a spring board for Peter levine ‘s work? That was a huge blunder Peter.

Gene was certainly a therapist. I knew him personally. Trust me.

Gene Gendlin was a philosopher but he became a main assistant to Carl Rogers and of course he did a lot of therapy and trained a lot of therapists and so this was a little slip of the tongue by Peter, not too long after he slipped, and said that this research identified the therapists who benefit when he actually met clients.

Thank you for this post Dr. Peter Levine. As a Focuser and videographer of Dr. Gendlin's work, It is really nice to have your input about felt sense.

I get this. In childhood I felt numb when abuse was taking place. Then I started to feel bad feelings. As I begin to heal I am trying to learn about the feelings in my body, what they mean, such as this pressure in my chest, is repressed sadness, or this feeling off as being upset. God, it's awful how I did not know what was going on before. I hope to continue my healing journey.

Most simply: as Gene taught it, what he called The felt sense was to distinguish it from the five organ based senses. So this is the sixth sense, and he loved to assign Plato‘s Meno and passages in Aristotle psychology, particularly the one where Aristotle wrote that we only know sugar is white and sweet because sight and taste occur to one inclusive encompassing sense.

I believe this is why it's so important to spend time in nature

Gendlin was a great man and did so much to p the evolution of Therapy in many disciplines. Here is a taxonomy that I use and which clarifies how the felt sense arises and what it is, that I find very helpful in therapy and coaching.

The rectification is needed. Eugene Gendlin was a psychotherapist in the Person-oriented and experiential psychotherapy before he created his own school of psychotherapy called Focusing-oriented psychotherapy..

I meditate since 6 years on daily basis. In the early days my Transmission failed because I was intellectualising all my emotions, in thoughts. Then suddenly I could feel the importance of sensations, they just

I am really glad he is making the connection to body feelings and creativity… as I learn more I am discovering many professionals using art and movement to treat and apply somatic.

His eyes are super bright!

Feelings are pointers

Self referral rather than object or image referral.

I still don't get it.
