Abstract:

Background mood differs from focal emotions in that it is an inchoate “bodily felt sense“ rather than full fledged emotional syndromes such as anger, sadness, etc. Microanalysis of a Focusing therapy session is made to illustrate how the cultivation and maintenance of background mood with its characteristic double vision is essential to emotional creativity.

Keywords: background mood; endocept; bodily felt sense; percept-genesis; focusing
