Description

There’s more than one way to tackle the same problem — especially when it comes to mental health problems. 
Some therapists focus on problems and all the things that contribute to emotional pain and suffering. Their goal is to help people gain insight into their problems so they can create positive changes.
Solution-focused therapists focus on solutions only. These therapists don’t explore old childhood wounds, and they don’t talk about past mistakes. They keep the conversation about the 'here and now' and the steps someone can take when moving forward.
That’s why a lot of them ask "the miracle question." It’s a question that helps people start imagining a more positive future.
And when people imagine a positive future, they often start taking helpful action.
Just talking about a positive future can remind people of their inner strength and the resources they can use to make their lives better.
You don’t have to go see a solution-focused therapist to start thinking about a more positive future for yourself. You can answer "the miracle question" for yourself right now.
