Synopsis: Solution Focused Therapy is a is a short-term, goal-oriented methodology of counseling designed to help clients change their lives by constructing solutions instead of simply focusing on the problems. Instead of spending a vast amount of time analyzing issues from the past, being solution-focused in approach allows the therapist and their client to work together and find positive solutions -- by asking quality questions, establishing SMART goals, celebrating the small, yet important victories, and identifying desired outcomes instead of simply dwelling on the past. Clients are able to discover their inner hero -- someone armed with powerful resources and many personal strengths. This workbook will discuss some of the core components to the methodology while offering an array of unique worksheets & activities aimed to support this counseling approach. Worksheets and activities found in this workbook will include: Tools for creating actionable goals while defining desired outcomes The 'Miracle Question' and ways to work through roadblocks Uncovering one's heroic journey and the strengths this journey will uncover Case Conceptualization forms for Session #1 and follow-up sessions The 'Solutions Matrix' ... and much more!! Ultimately, these worksheets can support a therapist in opening up more dialogue with their client.
