Solution-Focused Therapy Essentials (Refresher)

Solution-Focused Therapy can seem a refreshingly easy therapy to conduct, and to be the recipient of. This is because many of its techniques capitalise on circuits in the brain that already exist. Utilising these, rather than trying to develop new circuits by discussion and experimentation, often achieves results that are rapid, fundamental, and stable.

This course therefore teaches the principles and practice of Solution-Focused Therapy in a way that delegates can - and will want to - use with their own caseload.
 

What this online course will do for you:

• You will know about Solution-Focused Therapy: what it is and is not.

• You will be able to fundamentally re-phrase problems so that they are not only solvable, but exciting to solve.
• You will understand why (for example) that the harder one looks for happiness the less happy one becomes, the more one tries to stop worrying the more worried one becomes, and so on.
• You will know better what to do with patients you are currently unable to make progress with.
• You will know about 're-framing', why so many people rave about it, and how to do it.
• You will know how to 'dissolve' the resistance that some patients have about tackling their problems, and give them a framework that motivates and relaxes them.
• You will know why it is so important to spot 'problem-free' times and places, and how to utilise those.
• You will be introduced to the miracle question and other powerful questions that move a person forward quickly.
• You will know how to give a person a sense of direction and hope for the future.
• You will know how to capitalise on what you have learned on the course.
