Getting Started...
Because Open Focus training involves a natural process of paying attention in
everyday life to reduce and enhance well being, it requires only your own
willingness and a good coach. However, individual needs often dictate the best
ways in which each of us learn.
It is for this reason that Open Focus training is offered to both individuals and groups
of people at our Centre or at their locations, over the phone or though home
practice. The training is individualized so that people at all levels of interest and
skill development may learn in their own ways, at their own pace.

How Long Will It Take to See Improvement?

twice-weekly basis. You and your therapist will decide the best course of treatment.
Our goal here at the Centre is to extend the visits at a rate which fosters optimum

Corporate Training
Numerous national studies have been conducted over the years on the impact of stress
and illness upon corporate financial health and productivity. As a result, corporations
increasingly provide stress management programs to their employees.
Additionally, with the current economic need to downsize, corporations have become
equally concerned with productivity, creativity, morale and management skills. This has
led to a growth in corporate dollars spent for leadership and team building programs
for their employees.
It has been out of these demands that as a leader in the field, Dr. Fehmi has been asked
to provide in-house corporate training workshops for middle and upper management.
Using the Open Focus techniques, Dr. Fehmi has developed a unique management
program which teaches managers and employees how to reduce stress on the job,
become team players and evolve into leaders. The Open Focus technique differentiates
itself from other techniques in that it goes to the next level. Other techniques are
exogenous in that they show you how to recognize stress, provide role playing teaming
exercises, and define what a leader is. The Open Focus technique is endogenous
because it provides you with a practical method for actually transferring stress
reduction, teaming and leadership skills to everyday situations.
Open Focus workshops conducted by Dr. Fehmi are a combined menu of lecture, group
discussion and the practicing of Open Focus exercises. They are designed for a format

manipulate our attention to bring us toward optimum functioning in every walk of life.
These presentations are accompanied by computer presentations.
The group discussion includes questions and answers, as well as individual reactions
to the Open Focus exercises which punctuate the workshops. These discussions very
much reflect the unique composition of each group and provide a dynamic way of
learning.
The Open Focus practice portions of the workshop are conducted by Dr. Fehmi and are
interspersed throughout the training program at regular intervals.
Participants should leave these workshops with a body of knowledge, a set of skills,
Open Focus tapes to practice with at home and a direct experience of Open Focus and
consequent well being.
