Real People, Real Change: Could Focusing Help You Too?


by Laura Storey







There’s something powerful about being truly listened to—not just by others, but by yourself.

 

Many people come to Focusing because something in their life feels unclear, unsettled, or stuck. They’ve tried to “figure it out,” but thinking harder hasn’t helped. They wonder: Why can’t I find clarity? Why do I keep feeling this way? Why does my inner world feel so overwhelming—or so distant?

 

That’s where Focusing comes in.


The Problem


Most of us are taught to push past discomfort or analyse our way to solutions. But real clarity doesn’t come from force—it comes from slowing down and listening differently.


For many, the experience of Focusing is unlike anything they’ve tried before. It’s not therapy. It’s not meditation. It’s a way of listening inward that brings unexpected clarity.


People often tell me:


"I thought I already knew what I was feeling. But then something surprising showed up."


That’s because when we slow down and listen differently, the answers don’t come from thinking harder. They come from a quieter, deeper place—one that isn’t rushed, pressured, or forced.



What Focusing Can Unlock


"I was experiencing an uncomfortable sensation in my body that would never go away. Focusing was a different approach by tending to it with curiosity. Working with Laura made my nervous system settle down and take a big breath of relief. Laura tailored each session to me. I felt seen, heard and tended to. We were able to find another feeling behind the uncomfortable sensation. It opened up with a solution. Instead of believing the uncomfortable sensation would never go away, I now live with inner knowing, trust and possibility. This skill is a game-changer in life. I highly recommend Laura. – L. B., Sweden


"At first, I don’t believe Focusing can work. My friend say, ‘Try it, you will see,’ but I think, ‘No, not for me.’ Then I meet Laura. She not like other teachers. She don’t push or tell you what must happen. She just make space. I feel nervous at first, but very fast, I feel safe. Like I can just be myself. She listen in a way that even I start listen different to myself. Then something shift inside. My body talk in a way I can hear. Not big drama, just real. Like something I don’t know how to look at before, now I can. Now I do Focusing alone too, and life feel more clear. If your not sure, meet Laura. She make you feel like you already know how—like it inside you already." – M. Min, China

Before trying Focusing, many people had doubts: Will this actually help me? What if I don’t know what to do? Am I even doing it ‘right’?

 

These are natural concerns. I see how Focusing unfolds in a way that’s deeply personal and just right for each person.

"I feel more equipped to be with my body sensation and emotions. I feel more confident and calm when sitting with friends and clients when they share intense feelings." –Rachael G., USA

The Outcome

 

When you give space to what’s inside you, things start to move. The stuckness softens. The confusion begins to clear. You don’t have to struggle through it alone—there’s a way to listen that makes all the difference.


Focusing isn’t about getting somewhere quickly. It’s about learning to be with what’s already inside you.

 

If it’s inside, it’s worth listening to.
