I use it quite often to overcome flare ups of my TMS. Not only am I convincing my mind that the pain is due to emotional issues, focusing allows me to determine what some of those underlying emotions are. Many times it is not the one that is at the forefront of your mind, but buried deeper back and this allows you to get to them. I like to compare it to pealing of a layer of an onion.
Just another tool that I hope someone finds helpful.
Yes, this has been very helpful as part of my healing and getting in touch with feelings I have suppressed beyond recognition. I read the book Focusing by Eugene Gendlin.
