What is solution focused therapy?
A
Solution Focused Therapy SFBT (Soluton Focus Brief Therapy), known in Poland as TSR Trouble, was developed by Steve de Shazer (1940-2005) and Insoo Kim Berg (1934-2007) in collaboration with their colleagues from Milwaukee Brief Family Therapy in the late seventies of the twentieth century.
It is a therapeutic trend aimed at the goal that the client wants to achieve and the ways of introducing changes that are most helpful for him. It focuses on solutions, not on the problems that prompted clients to seek therapy.

Solution Focused Therapy is a short-term, evidence-based therapeutic method that includes actions individually tailored to the client. It helps change by creating solutions rather than focusing on problems.

The most important assumptions of SFBT, i.e. the central philosophy:
If it works, do more of it
If something doesn't work, do something else
If something's not broken - don't fix it
SFBT focuses on:
Client's resources and strengths, not deficits and disturbances;
on its goals and the change that the client wants to achieve, not on the problems;
on his achievements so far, not on his failures;
on exceptions to problem situations, not on the frequency and magnitude of the problems.

How is the treatment?
A
The therapy consists in talking to a psychotherapist and jointly searching for solutions most appropriate in a given situation. The psychotherapist helps in determining what has been effective so far and allowed the client to deal with problems and what solutions could work in the future. During the therapy, the goal the client wants to pursue is determined, and the psychotherapist helps the client to achieve this goal.

How to prepare for the meeting?
You can think about what you would like to change, what the situation should look like if everything worked out. You can also take notes, arrange everything in points or write it down completely chaotically. You can think about your emotions and the feelings that accompany you, or your thoughts about the situation. You can also completely ignore it and only think about it at the meeting. Regardless of what happens - your therapist is there to help you get started.
