The author was a graduate student a University of Chicago in 1972, and attended a "Focusing" program conducted by Gene Gendlin in a community center. She had "difficulties" learning it. She helped develop how it was taught. This book is very precise, linquistically precise.

An intriguing aspect of Focusing is that it is not a skill or therapeutic technique. Perhaps it's like listening to the body/mind. Body-oriented self-awareness in a conversational way, interior. And Cornell teaches it like it is a "birthright". Everyone. Exactly.

"The gift of the body is that it is always in present time, always here." Listen to the inner sense of rightness. [9]
