Episode 53 of The Living ProcessMay I Exist - First Experiential-Existential Study Day University of Leuven, Belgium. April 24, 2926.Panel Members: Evi Van Mierlo, Sofie Verdegem, Siebrecht Vanhooren and Greg Madison, hosted by: Ruth Marien. Day chaired by: Claude Missiaen. For me, Greg, it is odd to have a long-standing passion for this unique form of psychotherapy and to always feel like an existentialist at Focusing events and as a Focuser at existential events, never quite belonging to either world …. Chatting with Siebrecht many years ago at a conference, I found I finally had a fellow-traveller, and under his direction, now a whole Centre dedicated to this particular instance of FOT (Focusing Oriented Therapy).But of course Experiential-Existential Psychotherapy did not start with us. There were always a handful of therapists who cared about the spirit of existentialism in Gendlin's work and the need for experiential practice in existential therapy. We honour the wonderful work of Mia Leijssen, Germain Lietaer, and Les Todres as well as our close cousins in the world of person-centred counselling and existential-phenomenological therapy.

Presence in the Mindful Moment. Serge Prengel on The Living Process. Episode 52. Host Greg Madison

Delighted to welcome Serge Prengel to The Living Process. Serge talks about how he found Focusing many years ago in New York and how he calls Focusing a form of mindfulness which he terms PROACTIVE MINDFULNESS to distinguish it from other forms. We talk about this development, the struggle to be more mindful, and the importance of physicality in change processes. We also touch on the experience of a ‘shared field’, the interaction between people, conflict and how to accept it as a part of diversity, as well as neuroscience explanations for these practices.

Serge Prengel is an Focusing Oriented Therapist and Mindfulness teacher in the New York City area. He has been exploring mindfulness as an ongoing practice that includes awareness of its own inevitable failure. We strive to be more present and engaged, while recognizing that it is impossible to be completely mindful. See: ProactiveMindfulness.com

Trusting Beyond Words in Therapy with Salvador Moreno López on The Living Process with Greg Madison. Episode 51.

Prof. Salvador Moreno López talks about organismic wisdom as he finds it through Focusing and in therapy sessions. Salvador emphasises the importance of trusting bodily expressions, sounds, gestures, chanting, as well as opening up to the body’s senses. He touches on the topics of empathy, Gendlin’s philosophy, intuition, as well as integrating the philosophy of Paulo Freire and María Montessori into his teaching and his practice.

Salvador teaches and supervises therapists and his courses, writing and texts, can be found below:

Salvador Moreno-López

Psychotherapist, trainer of psychotherapists, and writer.

Salvador has published several books, book chapters, and articles on Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, Supervision of Psychotherapeutic Work, and The Place of the Lived World in Psychotherapy. His training as a psychotherapist and consultant began with the Person-Centered Approach (Carl Rogers) and later with the Philosophy of the Implicit and Focusing (Eugene Gendlin). However, he approaches his work from an interdisciplinary perspective that connects different sources of knowledge, such as neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, literature, and music, among others.
