Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg developed solution Focused Brief Therapy in America in the 1980s. Noticing that most talking therapies attempted to find the problem and tackle that they decided to start from the solution. It works around some very clever and basic principles. We would all agree that no one is perfect and as such there can be no one capable of having the perfect problem. In a nutshell there are days when they are just not as good at having the problem. This being the case then surely if we can find the times the client is not very good at having his problem then there lies the solution. These are the times that De Shazer called “exceptions”. An examination of these times in more depth will allow the client to find change. The language and ethos of Solution Focused Therapy is about helping to elicit an imagined future without the particular problem and what steps will guide the client to that future. The model is completely non judgmental and unintrusive. It supports the clients thought processes and reminds them of their own resources and strengths. Solution Focused Therapy is a skill and mastery that will benefit anyone who is involved in human communication. Widespread research shows to be effective in 65-83% of cases in
an average of 4-5 sessions even for serious problems.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been adopted world wide as a working tutorial for how the human mind works. It’s described as the operator’s manual for the brain and helps individuals understand better how this magnificent tool can work for us and against us. We often say how we are teaching people what they already know but without the formal knowledge the brain can easily control us instead of he other way round. The skills developed in NLP are real and applicable to everyday life. The results of NLP are well documented and if you have come this far you will already be aware of its basic premise. There is no better and fun way to learn about NLP than by practice in a group or workshop. NLP works from a basic set of rules or assumptions and expands upon those into a real command of everyday thoughts and actions that lead to greater success. Search a million websites and read a thousand books, absorb all you can about this brilliant resource. Then arrange one of our workshops for some real, relaxed and enjoyable practice.
