Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)

About Solution Focused therapy:

Solution focused therapy (SFT) focuses on identifying and building upon your strengths, resources, skills, and on envisioning and working towards a desired future state solutions rather than dwelling on problems or symptoms.

I will try to show you how to shift focus from what is wrong or not working to what is already working and how it can be amplified. While SFT focuses on solutions rather than problems, it does not ignore or dismiss your concerns or challenges. SFBT acknowledges the problems or difficulties you are facing, but shifts the focus towards identifying and building upon their strengths and resources to find solutions.

SFT recognizes the client as the expert of their own life and promotes autonomy and self-determination.

Few illustrations of SFT models:

The central emphasis is on envisioning a desirable future state and formulating practical strategies and concrete action steps to actively pursue and achieve that envisioned future. Examples of solution-focused questions include:

scaling questions (e.g., "On a scale of 1 to 10, how close are you to your desired outcome?")
miracle questions (e.g., "If a miracle happened overnight and your problem was solved, what would be different?"),
and exception questions (e.g., "When has the problem been less severe?"). I will also explore times when the problem was less severe or not present, and help you identify what you were doing differently at those times.

The miracle question helps individuals tap into their hopes, goals, and aspirations, allowing them to clarify what they want in their lives. It stimulates their imagination and activates their problem-solving abilities, as they begin to consider the steps and actions needed to achieve their envisioned future.
