Therapy That Helps You Set Goals for the Present

“What was your childhood like? Tell me about your parents growing up.” For people who aren’t interested in revisiting their pasts, that familiar therapy line produces a wide range of feelings—not all of them good. Here’s some great news, though: you don’t have to endlessly poke at your past to create lasting change.

Instead, solution-focused brief therapy directs you toward smarter goals and better approaches to problem solving right now. This model claims that a strict focus on problems doesn’t necessarily create any solutions. Instead, you can make small behavioral changes today that build a happier tomorrow.
