Solution Focused Brief Therapy
At Resilience, we offer Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than focusing on problems. This method is designed to help individuals and couples identify their strengths, resources, and goals, enabling them to create meaningful change in a short amount of time.
SFBT is rooted in the belief that individuals possess the strengths and resources necessary for change. Developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, this approach prioritizes the exploration of solutions and future possibilities rather than delving deeply into past issues. By focusing on what is working well and envisioning a desired future, clients can cultivate a sense of hope and motivation.
Key Components
Solution Focused Brief Therapy incorporates several key techniques and principles, including:
The Miracle Question: A unique technique that invites clients to imagine a future where their problems are resolved, helping them identify their goals and the steps needed to achieve them.
Scaling Questions: These questions help clients assess their current situation and track their progress, providing a clear visual representation of change over time.
Identifying Exceptions: Clients are encouraged to recognize times when their problems were less intense or absent, highlighting their strengths and successful strategies.
Goal Setting: SFBT focuses on setting specific, achievable goals, guiding clients to create a clear roadmap for their desired future.
