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.

goals, “Can you put it in a wheelbarrow?” i.e., being a<br />
better parent is one thing, but what if you took the kids out<br />
once a week? We will discuss goal setting later. This part of<br />
the session will tend to be where the family lets off steam<br />
with ‘he said, she said’ stuff. I tend to let that burn out<br />
before taking control of the conversation. This can be a<br />
while in some instances, but it tells a lot to watch and listen<br />
to build a good picture of the relationships. In essence, this<br />
can be a large chunk of the session.<br />
