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.

"I'm very depressed at the moment, this week has been the<br />

worst ever."<br />

"It sounds like you’ve been quite low recently. What’s been<br />

better before this week?”<br />

Making a different interpretation can be super helpful for<br />

the client. <strong>The</strong> real skill is when we might register a change<br />

in demeanor from our client. <strong>The</strong>y have no need to say but<br />

certainly, we can see they have taken the message on<br />

board.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y say, depressed. You say, low.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y say, anger. You say, overexcited.<br />

We also use expressions:<br />

"I am such a crap parent." <strong>The</strong> response might be, "Why do<br />

you think you have such high expectations of yourself?"<br />

or<br />

"You seem to set yourself very high standards."<br />

"I constantly lose my rag with the kids."<br />

<strong>The</strong> response might be,<br />

"In what kind of situations do you find you're quite animated."
