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.

In the video, we discussed how the question works and the<br />

incredible power it holds. To the uninitiated, it can seem<br />

strange and unnatural, but with practice, it flows freely. For<br />

most frontline workers, this version is unlikely to work in<br />

casual conversation.<br />

In the training and the following exercise, we were able to<br />

break down the fabric of the question and give trainees a<br />

chance to design their own version.<br />

What is it saying?<br />

In its simplest form, it's an opportunity to design an<br />

imagined future without the issue that's bothering them. It<br />

asks, how do you see the solution, what will be different?<br />

When adding deeper questioning, it lifts the mood and<br />

tone, and creates an imagined future. It also enables the<br />

client to leapfrog any obstacles that might be perceived and<br />

clear them from the conversation. We spoke about the first<br />

few lines of the answer, how often the entire key to a<br />

solution can lie there.<br />

What if we get silly or unrealistic answers?
