New Words, New Concepts: Thinking at the Edge
with Rob Parker, Ph.D.
Have you ever needed a better theory? Perhaps there is some issue that comes up repeatedly in your work, you can feel there is something wrong, but you can't quite put what you know into words. You need more than a felt shift, you need a whole new theory! A theory that expresses what you know, so you can think about it for yourself or perhaps teach it to others. Thinking at the Edge (TAE) is your answer. When you know enough about something to have a felt sense for it, and you don't have words or concepts that express what you know, then you need new words and new concepts. You need Thinking at the Edge.
Thinking at the edge is normally taught in a weekend workshop; in this two-hour discussion, we will explore what Thinking at the Edge is, how and why it works, and do some experiential exercises to get a sense of what it feels like.
Rob Parker, Ph.D., is a focusing trainer and a longtime student of Gendlin's Philosophy of the Implicit. An expert in the field of psychological trauma and abuse, he has been interviewed twice on MSNBC, published in professional journals, and developed and administered a number of treatment programs. He has found TAE not only helpful but indispensable in his professional activities.

Also, enjoy our FOCUSING COMMUNITY MARKETPLACE: In a lively exchange with others in our community, this is a time and place to share your Focusing projects, workshops, and trainings and to let us know what other goods and services you have to offer. Bring your flyers and brochures for our literature table.
PLEASE INVITE FRIENDS and COLLEAGUES: While NY Metro Focusing meetings are not introductions to Focusing, we hope newcomers get a little taste of the Focusing experience and are motivated to learn more by taking an Introduction to Focusing workshop.
Suggested Contribution: $20 to cover rental and refreshment expenses. Those new to Focusing are our guests for their first NYMF meeting. Cash only please, since we are not able to take credit cards or checks.
Date of the next NYMF meeting: Friday, June 17, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Janet Pfunder: Focusing with Dreams
