Building Hope in Uncertain Times with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Our clients are increasingly feeling stuck and overwhelmed, by fast-breaking news cycles, by chaotic current events, and by a world in which they feel less and less control over the circumstances around them. In short, hope is often in short supply. How can therapists help build this vital quality? In this session, Connie will demonstrate how a solutions-focused approach is well positioned to build hope and help clients to regain control of their lives. Drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Connie will explore the importance of shifting attention from current problems and toward possibilities for the future. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building hope from day one and transforming that hope into lasting meaningful change.
