This handout is being made available for clinicians, coaches, and educators who want a structured, ready-to-use guide for implementing Stage 1 of Sensate Focus with clients.
Stage 1 introduces the core attentional skill of Sensate Focus under controlled, low-pressure conditions. By removing breasts and genitals from the experience, this stage minimizes performance anxiety and allows clients to learn how to reliably direct attention to physical sensation.
Designed for clinical application, this handout provides clear instructions that clients can follow independently between sessions, reducing the need for repeated explanation and improving adherence.
Inside, clients are guided through:
The purpose and structure of Stage 1
The distinct roles of toucher and receiver
How to focus attention on sensation (temperature, pressure, texture)
How to handle distraction without disrupting the exercise
Practical guidelines for session length, frequency, and progression
How to properly end sessions without reinforcing performance evaluation
This is a no-fluff, implementation-ready resource that helps clients build the foundational skill required for all later stages of Sensate Focus.
This handout is priced at $0.99 to make high-quality clinical tools easily accessible for practitioners.
Note: This content is also included in the WIMI Private Journal for those who prefer full library access.
