ADHD and Anxiety Tips: How Solution Focused Brief Therapy can Help
Channel: Panic Attack Recovery
Date: 2018-04-26

One of the approaches used for psychological, behavioral, and relational problems (such as anxiety, depression, adhd) is something called Solution Focused Brief Therapy or SFBT.  Rather than focusing on the past, SFBT focuses on challenges in the here and now.

Proponents of SFBT insist there are always times when the identified problem is less severe for clients. The professional seeks to encourage the client to identify these occurrences and maximize their frequency. What happened that was different? What did you do that was different? 
Such questions are intended to make clients recognize resources that have gone unnoticed by them. 

But what does the research say about the effectiveness of SFBT?
SFBT has been reviewed in two meta-analyses.

There have been 77 empirical studies on the effectiveness of SFBT.
There are been 2 meta-analyses and 2 systematic reviews.
The conclusion of this research is that SFBT is an effective approach for the treatment of psychological problems.
You might consider seeking help from a professional who works with SFBT.  

However, right now, you might try this technique by considering your own variation of the miracle question. Then ask yourself: "What would the first signs be that the miracle occurred?"
When answering these hypothetical questions, consider your existing resources and competencies and how you might apply them to a key challenge you are experiencing.  This might seem like a simple approach but research suggests it can be an effective one.
