LEARN EMPATHY AND SELF-EMPATHY FOR HOME AND WORK
Dr. McGuire’s mission has been the integration of masculine and feminine, left- and right-brain, work and home. Her wholistic approach allows you to bring empathy and self-empathy to the places you spend the wide variety of your living, for creativity, communication, conflict resolution, and building caring community.
Dr. McGuire has retired from active teaching and training. But the outcome of over forty years of teaching the self-help skills of Carl Rogers’ Empathic Listening and Eugene Gendlin’s Experiential Focusing can be found in the many materials on her website for Creative Edge Focusing. This includes her many Articles in English and Spanish.
The new totally Free Store includes Manual Downloads, Audio Files, new PDF files for her E-Course, and Listing of Courses and Trainings offered by others.
But you can find all her cumulated experience most easily in her Instant “Ahah!”s E-Newsletter / E-Course. All the tasks are broken down into small steps with lots of practice videos and backup materials. This is the ideal way to really learn the skills
IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOAD THE INSTANT “AHAH!”S MINI-MANUAL IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH
You are invited to download The Instant “Ahah”s Mini-Manual / ”Ajas” Instantaneos right now to get a taste of what Dr. McGuire’s E-Course on Listening and Focusing will include.
NEW PDF DOWNLOAD FORMAT FOR E-NEWSLETTER/E-COURSE
The Instant “Ahah!”s E-Course walks you through the ten applications in The Instant “Ahah!”s Mini-Manual plus 21 videos teaching Relaxation, Focusing, Listening, and how to start your own practice group. It also covers all the articles and Interest Areas at Dr. McGuire’s website for Creative Edge Focusing.
You will learn applications of Listening and Focusing to intimate relationships and friendships, work relationships and creative problem solving, conflict resolution, spirituality, education and parenting, counseling and psychotherapy, and building support groups and supportive communities.
Instead of coming as weekly emails from Constant Contact as it has for the past 12 years, now all of the E-newsletters have been collected into the new Instant “Ahah”s E-Course which comes in Parts One, Two, and Three. These are available as PDF files with live links in The Free Store here .
You will find the whole course worth of e-newsletters collected in sequence there, each section with four opportunities to practice the new skills, with active links to videos and readings:
The minus: you will not receive reminders in your email inbox to go and practice the skills. You will have to be self-motivated (or find a partner or start a small group to work through the e-course together to keep you on track!)
The plus: whenever you join the E-Course, you can start right at the beginning, in Part One, and work your way through at your own speed. You might want to find a partner or a small group to work through it with you to help you stay motivated and on track! You can do this! It is self-help. It is all my cumulated wisdom, right here, free, and when you need it/have time.
IT’S IN YOUR HANDS AND COMPLETELY FREE, EVERYTHING, ALWAYS!
So, the Instant “Ahah!”s E-Course is now completely in your hands. You want to download the PDF files but keep them on your computer so that you can take advantage of all the active links to YouTube Videos and other course materials. You are welcome to print them out, but then you will lose all these active links which are really the meat of the e-course.
Time to plunge in while the interest that brought you here is still fresh! Start at Courses: Instant “Ahah!” E-Course: Part One
As soon as you start Part One, you will see opportunities to download the Instant “Ahah”s Mini-Manual ( “Ajas” Instantaneos) , the Complete Focusing Instructions file, and much more.
SHORTER “YOUTUBES ONLY” VERSION
If you want a shorter approach to an E-Course teaching these skills of Listening and Focusing and their many applications, you can go to the YouTube channel for Dr. Kathy McGuire, start with the first, earliest video, and work your way up. You will then be learning all the practice videos with a verbal introduction. You will be missing additional text explanations and links to additional readings and resources.
MORE RESOURCES IN SPANISH
The actual E-Course is mainly in English, as are the accompanying YouTube videos. But you can find the free accompanying manual, Focusing in Community: How To Start A Listening/Focusing Support Group in the new Free Store) also in Spanish as Focusing En Communidad in The Free Store. And there are several articles/webpages in Spanish here. You will find references to these materials throughout the E-Course where they are available. Thanks to Agnes Rodriguez of Costa Rica for all of these translations!
