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.

client's idea of their situation is fixed and rigid because of<br />

the way they have interpreted it over a long period.<br />

It can be helpful to hear from a professional who may not<br />

see it quite the same way you do.<br />

It's important to say that we have no need to get the client<br />

to agree with our interpretation. In most instances, I would<br />

simply reframe the situation and move on.<br />

Example:<br />

"I'm so bad as a parent, always screaming and shouting at<br />

them for the slightest thing."<br />

"It sounds like you have very high expectations of your<br />

children. Are there times when you're a little more likely to let<br />

things go by?”<br />

"We spend all day every day arguing."<br />

"Reaching agreement on everything can be difficult for couples<br />

sometimes.”<br />

I have also found that switching words and repeating<br />

statements can be useful.
