Solution-focused brief therapy

Solution-focused brief therapy is a way for grown-ups to talk to someone who is trained to help them with their feelings and problems. It's kind of like talking to someone who is really good at puzzles and helping you figure out how to solve the puzzle of your feelings and problems.

The first thing the therapist will do is ask you questions to try to understand what's going on and what you'd like to be different. They might ask you what you're feeling, what you've tried before, and what you'd like to achieve. They'll listen really carefully to what you say.

Next, the therapist will help you think about what you've done successfully in the past so you can use those skills to solve the problem you're facing now. They might ask you to imagine what it would look like if the problem were solved and how you would feel. They'll help you figure out what steps you can take to make progress towards that vision.

Finally, the therapist will help you check in to see how things are going after you've taken those steps. They'll ask you what worked well, what didn't work, and what you want to try next. They'll keep encouraging you to keep going until you feel better, and they'll help you celebrate your successes along the way.
