Reflecting Before Acting or Reacting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The radical contribution of Gendlin\u2019s Focusing (Bantam, 1981) and McGuire\u2019s Creative Edge Focusing \u2122 is that the problem solver makes the explicit choice to pause and take some moments for silent reflecting before acting or reacting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of simply repeating past reactions, the Focuser can create new, completely innovative solutions and behaviors from the \u201cintuitive feel\u201d of the whole situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quiet pause is needed in order to sense into the \u201cintuitive feel,\u201d The Creative Edge, of problems. <\/strong>Whether in private or in group decision making settings, these opportunities for pauses to contact and articulate the Creative Edge are what allow the creation of totally new ideas and solutions. No pauses, no creation of the new!!!!!<\/p>\n

Using the PRISMS\/S Problem Solving Process is like passing light through a prism<\/strong>. A few moments of pondering, and The Creative Edge opens into a whole spectrum of new possibilities and action steps.<\/p>\n

Pausing To Ponder: From Problems To Possibilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The PRISMS\/S Problem Solving Process includes seven ingredients of predictable \u201cAhah!\u201d experiences using Creative Edge Focusing \u2122. <\/strong>With its Core Skills of Intuitive Focusing and Focused Listening , PRISMS\/S is based upon Eugene Gendlin’s “A Theory of Personality Change\u201d (\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/www.focusing.org\/gendlin\/docs\/gol_2145.html<\/a>\u00a0)\u00a0and his Focusing <\/em>self-help book (Bantam, 1981, 1984), as well as Dr. McGuire\u2019s thirty years of\u00a0 experience integrating Listening\/Focusing skills into task-oriented groups and supportive communities.<\/p>\n

PRISMS\/S can be used on one\u2019s own or with the help of Focused Listening in a Creative Edge Focusing Partnership, Focusing Group or Team, or Focusing Community. In any case, problem solving goes through the following steps<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Pausing<\/strong><\/span> :<\/strong> \u00a0Clearing A Space for Problem Identification
\nReflecting<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong> Listening To Oneself or Focused Listening from Another\u00a0
\nIntuitive Focusing<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Back-and-Forth Between Symbols and Intuition
\nShifting<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Kaleidoscope Turns And A New Paradigm Arises
\nMovement<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Innovative Solutions and Action Steps Arise Spontaneously
\nSatisfaction<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Tension Releases in the Sureness of \u201cAhah! That\u2019s It!\u201d
\nSupport<\/strong><\/span>: Listening\/Focusing Partnerships Build Empathy and Community<\/p>\n

Pausing:<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0<\/strong>Clearing A Space<\/strong> For Problem Identification<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

As the first step of PRISMS\/S, the Focuser sits down and takes a quiet moment to pay attention to the \u201cintuitive feel,\u201d the Creative Edge of consciousness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right-brain Problem Solving Is Non-Linear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right-brain problem solving is non-linear. Wherever you start, you may find totally new directions, ideas, possibilities arising.<\/strong> This is exactly what you want!!!! But it means a relaxation around having to know exactly what the problem is and how it is going to come out before you begin!…….read more about PRISMS\/S at http:\/\/www.cefocusing.com\/coreconcepts\/1a3.php<\/a><\/p>\n
