Solution Focused Therapy
Solution Focused Therapy is a short-term, problem-focused form of treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.
SFT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how they will feel and act in response.
SFT can help with:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance dependency
- Persistent pain
- Disordered eating
- Sexual issues
- Anger management issues
Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of SFT. If any of the above issues resonate with you, I encourage you to try solution focused therapy.
With SFT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. T
Some SFT techniques are:
- Journaling
- Challenging beliefs
- Relaxation
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
- Social, physical and thinking exercises
Solution Focused therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. SFT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
