Description

The word “Solution” in the title of the Solution Focused Approach. The key tenant of this way of working actually has nothing to do with solutions, it has everything to do with hope. Just as when working with individual clients, working with couples means we have to use skillfully crafted questions that move the couple from despair to a hoped for future. As the couple answers these questions they come back together in deep and meaningful ways that will last. In this lecture the presenter will share the keys to asking the kinds of questions that consistently produce positive results for couples. 

  1. Understand the power of hope in the Solution-Focused Approach and its transformative impact on couples.
  2. Learn the art of asking the right questions that move couples from conflict or despair to a positive, hopeful future.
  3. Explore practical techniques for helping couples reconnect and foster deep, lasting relationships through meaningful dialogue.

This approach is all about building a pathway for couples to rediscover connection and hope, which leads to lasting change.
