What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (TSR)?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, also known as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), is a therapeutic approach that focuses on discovering and developing a client's resources and strengths, rather than focusing on problems. TSR is based on the assumption that clients already have all the necessary resources to solve their difficulties, and the role of the therapist is to help them discover and use them.
Basic assumptions of TSR
- Orientacja na przysPLNość: TSR focuses on the future of the customer and what their life might look like once the problem is solved. The key questions are about what changes the customer would like to see in their lives.

- Zasoby klienta: TSR assumes that each client has resources and skills that may be useful in the problem-solving process. The therapist helps the client identify these resources and put them into practice.

TSR tools and techniques

- Exceptions: TSR emphasizes identifying situations in which a customer's problem does not occur or is less intense. Analyzing these “exceptions” can help identify effective coping strategies.
- Appreciation and Recognition: TSR emphasizes the importance of recognizing and acknowledging customer successes, even if they are small steps towards a goal. This strengthens the sense of competence and motivation for further action.
What is supervision and what does it look like in the context of TSR?
Supervision is a key element in the work of every therapist, regardless of their experience and the therapeutic method used. In the context of TSR, supervision plays a special role because it helps the therapist not only to develop their skills, but also to verify and deepen reflection on their own approach to working with clients.
