Description
If you're ready to experience more pathways to self-acceptance, let this collection support your journey.
How can you bring peace to the inner wars that are in the way of having the life you want? For more than 30 years now, Ann Weiser Cornell has been exploring, teaching, and writing about the mysteries of emotional process, including:
- The paradox of how we become more whole by acknowledging our parts
- How the most despised places in us contain our greatest treasure
- How the body's felt sense, held in a compassionate state of Presence, is the key to change
Now her key writings have been brought together in one place, freshly edited for this volume, with four new articles offering Ann's leading-edge work.
All are accessible both to the seeker of personal change and to the professional who wants to be more effective in working with others.
What you'll gain from this book:
- Clear, specific examples of what an inner relationship can look like as a conversation between you, as a compassionate Presence, and a "something in you" that needs your attention/acknowledgment.
- An understanding of how some aspects of your experience get exiled and why it's so important to invite them back in again.
- An inside look at the "third way" that is so essential to Focusing - a way where you are neither identifying with nor dissociating from your emotional experiences.
Translations are available in Spanish & German. Contact the publisher for more information.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Ann Weiser Cornell has been teaching for many years in many countries and is well known worldwide. In her previous book and her manuals she has created new specific and accessible instructions for Focusing as well as for the teachers of Focusing. In person and through her students and writings she has given Focusing to far more people than any other single individual. She is a powerful force in making the world better. She has gone on to create different new processes in new dimensions, which are included in this book."
- Eugene Gendlin, author of Focusing
"I have always had a lot of respect for Focusing but saw a gap between it and Internal FamilySystems in terms of appreciation of the multiplicity of the mind and qualities of Self. In this intriguing collection of articles, Ann Weiser Cornell describes in a very personal and readable way her groundbreaking journey with her colleague Barbara McGavin that narrows the gap. I endorse their resulting approach heartily and embrace them as kindred spirits on this road toward the radical acceptance of everything."
- Richard Schwartz, author of Internal Family Systems Therapy
"No one teaches or explains Focusing with more beauty, grace or clarity than Ann Weiser Cornell. The Radical Acceptance of Everything does more than explain profound concepts simply and beautifully: from the very first page, it invokes the very state of Presence that it describes. Whether you are a beginning Focuser or have been Focusing for years, The Radical Acceptance of Everything is sure to deepen and enrich your Focusing experience."
- Helene G. Brenner, author of I Know I'm in There Somewhere
