The Brief Therapy Toolkit Ebook V9

Welcome to the "Brief Therapy Toolkit" eBook. This book is crafted as a concise reference guide, complementing my training course under the same title. My goal is to distill the powerful principles of solution-focused brief therapy and tailor them specifically for you, the youth worker. By deconstructing the methodology, we aim to reconstruct it in a manner that transitions seamlessly from the therapy room to your youth club, school, or children's home. As a youth worker, you are often the first point of contact in times of crisis. Armed with these tools, you will gain confidence in your approach and be better equipped to make a difference.

<strong>The</strong>n came a computer programmer named Richard<br />

Bandler and a linguist named John Grinder, captivated by<br />

Erickson’s work. <strong>The</strong>y wanted to study successful people<br />

and work out how their behaviours and attitudes differed<br />

from the average person. <strong>The</strong>y studied a handful of<br />

successful therapists in the same way, the objective being to<br />

breakdown their actions into a kind of program that could<br />

be replicated.<br />

A common trait they discovered was how successful<br />

therapists were deliberately vague in their suggestions, thus<br />

opening up the client's mind to subconscious suggestion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y also saw a pattern of rapport building and working<br />

within the model of the client's world and removing the<br />

traditional authority of the therapist.<br />

<strong>The</strong> result was NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a<br />

method of exploring how the way people feel and behave<br />

influences their life.
