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.

actually said the opposite. <strong>The</strong>y said how good it was they<br />

didn’t get killed and they would be on the news, etc. Time<br />

and time again, he proves that luck is an attitude. Not only<br />

that, he proved it was behavior; once you believe you are<br />

unlucky, you become blinkered and unwilling to take risks<br />

for fear of failure. It works the same with individuals,<br />

companies, football teams, and countries. How many teams<br />

do you see on a losing streak miss open goals and keep<br />

themselves stuck in a rut? So, by focusing the attention of<br />

the client on things that are already improving, you set up a<br />

positive step forward. I can tell you that there have been<br />

occasions I did this, and the first session was the last. We<br />

talked about how things had improved in the family and<br />

how much they all cared about each other, and guess what.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y decided they didn’t really need to see me after all and<br />

thanked me before heading off home. <strong>The</strong> greatest<br />

compliment a therapist can get is when a client says, “Well,<br />

I came to see you but managed to sort this thing out all by<br />

myself.” It's covert or stealth therapy where you leave no<br />

sign that you were there. Some practitioners call it leaving<br />

no footprints, and it’s the greatest compliment to the<br />

therapist for the client to feel they solved their own<br />

problem.
