Annat Gal-on
I am Annat, a woman, a mother, a daughter, a spouse, a friend. I am a certified Focsusing trainer and Children Focusing companion, and a certified Family Constellations facilitator. I listen, observe, sense, feel, think, love.
My body has always been the most accurate tool for me. It knew, before I did, when something was wrong; It signaled, screamed and hurt in order to get my attention. A precise tool, but inaccessible: what does it mean when it is in pain? What is this distress, what is my body trying to tell me? What should I do with this gap between the consciousness, the thinking and analyzing mind and the knowing body? Why can’t I ask it, before it hammers me in frustration, what does it want?
I have tried out many mind-body techniques, which bore some results. Someone, a therapist, came and examined and gave a medication, or a therapy, or a press, or herbs, or channeling, in order to help the body. And it helped, but I didn’t understand anything.
When I first met Focusing, I realized I was home. I have found a way, to both facilitate the body and to help it, a way to an interconnection of respect, apreciation and love between the body and the mind. A way to use words, language, in order to be precise and conduct a dialogue that is beneficial to everything that is going on inside, hidden from the eye. A way that combines the know-how in the body, and the power in the language, sensation and awareness.
Ever since then, I have been learning more and more, with the best of teachers, living, reading, exploring, talking and writing Focusing. During those years, I found out the greatest gift of Focusing as an enabeling approach in close relationships. Idevelopes this approach and callesd it HomeFocusing. I am guiding people, couples and families in magical, healing journies into their bodies and into their meaningful relationships. Journies of attentiveness and compassion, change-driving journies, enlighting journies.
You are welcome to travel with me, it is going to be intriguing, interesting, surprising and rewarding.
Among my tools:
• Focusing according to the Eugine Gendlin's approach and Inner Relationship approach by Ann Weiser Cornell.
• Focusing with children. Special project: Focusing Workshops for Parents.
• Family Constellation therapy
• Focusing in Trauma tools, originated in FOT - Focusing Oriented Therapy and SE - Somatic Experience.
• Whole Body Focusing
What do I do?
• One-on-one processes, where your painful issues receive the attention they need from you, in order to change and propel you forward. During these processes you receive simple, accessible and powerful tools to use at home.
• Focusing for Couples - A deep learning and healing process, in which listening in a Focusing way – to myself and to the other – is practiced in effect. We learn to pay attention and express our feelings, our pains, our needs, and to listen to the other person, even when his or her feelings, pains and needs affect us or contradict our needs. We bring deep empathy into our interaction, healing both the relationship and each one of us. In Focusing for Couples, we learn to listen, to talk and to enable a mutual, open and safe space. Focusing for Couples is adequate for life-partners, for parents and trie adult children, and for any two people who want to improve their relationship.
• HomeFocusing Course – In-depth and experiential studies that provide the philosophy and skill of Focusing as a tool for mind-body personal and professional work, and as an effective tool in relationships.
• Focusing Workshops for Parents - Intimate and experiential workshops that combine the unique Focusing qualities of attentiveness to ourselves as parents, as people, and to our children.
• Daughter & Mother-in-law Relationships Workshops – workshops that provide tools to deal with one of the most challenging relationships; adequate for daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law or both together.
• Relationship workshops for experienced Focusers – Experiential workshops that make the qualities of Focusing accessible in daily life and in close relationships.
• Personalized - Tailor Made Relationship Workshops – for different groups – families, workplaces etc. according to the group’s needs.
