What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach designed to bring about positive change by focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. SFBT is a collaborative and client-centered method that empowers individuals to identify and amplify their strengths, resources, and solutions. Unlike traditional therapy models that delve into the roots of problems, SFBT is future-oriented, emphasizing the exploration of possibilities and desired goals.
Key Principles of SFBT:
- Future Orientation: We work together to envision your desired future outcomes and set realistic goals for positive change.
- Solution-Focused Questions: Our therapists use targeted questions to guide you in identifying exceptions to the problem, exploring potential solutions, and shifting your focus towards actionable steps.
- Exception Seeking: We help you recognize times when the problem is less severe or absent, shedding light on your strengths and resources.
- Scaling Questions: By using scales to measure progress, we collaboratively assess your perception of improvement and identify areas for further exploration.
