"The radical acceptance of everything brings a new possibility of trust, a feeling of greater wholeness. We are no longer guardians of the gate, watching to allow in some experiences and exclude others. Instead, we are holders of the open space that includes whatever wants to come. We are not afraid of what comes. We know that there are no enemies in the inner world. The spirit is one of inclusion, not exclusion. The attitude is one of welcome." — Ann Weiser Cornell

Bio from The Power of Focusing: "Ann Weiser Cornell learned Focusing from Eugene Gendlin, who first discovered the technique. She has gone on to achieve an international reputation as one of the field's leading innovator and theoreticians. She taught at Gendlin's Focusing Institute in Chicago, developed the first workshops for Focusing guides, and now regularly teaches popular workshops throughout North America, Europe, and the Far East. Ann is editor and publisher of The Focusing Connection newsletter and has served as president of the Association of Humanistic Psychology. Ann currently makes her home in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she offers classes and workshops through her organization, Focusing Resources."

Professional Life

Cornell collaborated with Barbara McGavin to write Treasure Maps to the Soul, a technique designed to apply Focusing to many different challenges including depression, addiction, and life fulfillment.

Contribution to Psychology

Cornell expanded on Gendlin’s Focusing to develop Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF). Gendlin’s Focusing employs the concept of a felt-sense: a feeling or sensation in the body that can't easily be described using traditional psychological or anatomical language. As a client moves toward healing, Focusing aims to help the client experience a felt-shift, which is the recognition and verbalization of what the felt-sense represents, with a shift toward a more positive experience and the integration of body and mind. Cornell’s IRF is based on her concept of Self-in-Presence. Cornell defines ‘presence’ as the calm, inquisitive, balanced, natural state of the self.

A licensed therapist works with a client to achieve this balanced state and to support parts of the self, or “partial-selves” as Cornell terms them, that are in need of compassion, comfort, and validation. IRF incorporates specific language, specifically “Presence language,” to describe what a person experiences in therapy. The use of this type of language allows a client to acknowledge the existence of a feeling without having to identify with it. The therapist encourages the client to refer to feelings in a descriptive way, rather than identifying feelings as things. For example, a therapist might reflect to the client, “Something in you that is feeling sad wants to be noticed,” rather than labeling the feeling “the sadness in you wants to be noticed.” In addition, the therapist will use suggestions, rather than direct questions with the client. One of the core tenets of IRF is the full acceptance of the client by the therapist.

Dr. Weiser Cornell Featured on GoodTherapy.org

In July, 2010 Ann Weiser Cornell presented Inner Relationship and the Art of Facilitative Language, a GoodTherapy.org web conference available to clinicians for CE credits.

Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD is an internationally known author and seminar leader who has been working with the Focusing process since she learned it from its originator, Eugene Gendlin, in 1972. She is perhaps the best-known Focusing teacher in the world, having taught in eighteen countries around the world for the past twenty-five years. With her colleague Barbara McGavin she has been developing Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) since 1992, and today there is a flourishing worldwide network of therapists and practitioners of IR Focusing.

Ann has given presentations and trainings in Inner Relationship Focusing at the Esalen Institute, the Psychotherapy Networker Conference, the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine, the American Psychological Association, and this coming summer will be doing a five-day training in IRF at the Cape Cod Institute.

Ann was a Woodrow Wilson scholar at the University of Chicago, where she received her Ph.D. in Linguistics in 1975. She puts her linguistics training to use with her fine attention to the language that facilitates inner process, which she calls “the art of facilitative language.”

Ann is the author of The Power of Focusing and The Radical Acceptance of Everything. She is the founder and CEO of Focusing Resources, which offers over 60 phone seminars on IR Focusing every year. You can learn more about Focusing Resources at www.focusingresources.com.
