What is the theory behind this Solution Focused Brief Therapy worksheet?
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-focused short term therapy that works on solutions to the client’s problems rather than evaluating the problems. The main aim is hence to build solutions as opposed to focusing on the nature, causes and history of the client’s problems. SFBT helps clients realise their potential and what currently works and what else they can do to work towards a better future.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help clients focus on and find their strengths not just from their own self-evaluation but also from other people’s perspectives. This exercise will help build the self confidence they need to find and work on solutions to their problems.Often times other people can see the good in us very well, things that we may have failed to notice ourselves.
How to use the worksheet?
Instruct the client to think back to all the times that they relied on their strengths to get through hard times and write them down. They also have to ask at least three other people in their close social circle about what they believe the client’s strengths are and why they think so.
