Focus on Communication. Shift the focus from seeking a diagnosis to actively listening to both the content and the underlying dynamics in the client's relationships. In this case , it could be easy to get distracted by the content of the argument. We could get stuck in the hurt or trust elements. While those are certainly part of it, we want to pay close attention to how clients describe the conflict. The conflict was not about whether the decision was okay or not, it was about power and whether one person can make that decision without the other and how to manage these expectations around decision making. When we listen to HOW clients are reacting to situations and one another, we can more quickly and accurately address the theme of conflict and their communication around it. What are realistic expectations here? What is acceptable? It isn't whether or not the guest should come, but rather how the partner found out. However, at what point do we allow our partner to have some more power and when do they get less? These are important questions to consider and make concrete when power dynamics arise. #communicationfocus #listeningwithintent #relationshipdynamics #diagnosisshift #emotionalintelligence #clientinsights #understandreactions #relationalpatterns #therapeuticlistening #clientcenteredcare #deepenunderstanding #emotionalexpression #empoweringchange #problemsolvingmindset #problem-solving #BTC #brieftherapycenter #problemsolvingbrieftherapy #psychology #solutionfocusedbrieftherapy #problemsolvingbrieftherapy #mribrieftherapy

Thinking Beyond the Box. What Does This Mean? It means that we need to encourage a shift beyond conventional limits. When we frame the problem in a manner that explicitly indicates that the person is not the issue, but rather, that the problem is an interaction with contextual factors, we empower individuals to recognize their capability and strength. People can then see themselves as agents for change with a clear description of what isn’t working and their choices for how to do something different. This sometimes seems crazy at first. This is what Problem Solving Brief Therapy seeks to achieve. #beyondthebox #thinkingoutsidethebox #shiftlimits #empowerment #problemsolvingtherapy #recognizecapability #strengthwithin #externalfactors #solutionfocused #brieftherapyapproach #empoweringchange #problemsolvingmindset #problem-solving #BTC #brieftherapycenter #training #therapy #psychology #solutionfocusedbrieftherapy #problemsolvingbrieftherapy #mribrieftherapy

Imagine the impact it would make to be able to accurately describe a cycle of pain for a person within one session after being caught in the same cycle for years. How would they feel to be so seen and for their pain to be pinpointed to a dynamic that doesn’t come with a diagnosis BUT rather tangible concrete descriptions that they can access in common words.
