I am quite interested in Solution Focused Therapy.
I wondered whether it would be helpful to use the some of the basics of the theory to help ourselves.
Solution Focused Therapy is about taking the presenting problem and setting small realistic goals(our weekly weightlosses) towards the final goal( a healthy weight).
Its about not dwelling in the past - but looking forward.
One scenario used in brief therapy might be:-
Suppose one night while you were asleep this miracle happened and you woke up at your healthy weight!!!!!
How would you know?
What would be different?
How would your children, partner etc know?
The idea is to focus on current resources ( LT for e.g). and future hopes ( wieghtloss and maintanance rather than present causes and past problems) Hopefully in doing this when your having self doubt and weak moments you can re-focuss on you intended goal.
We are kind of annonymous here so i feel i can share my feelings, if anyone one else wants to post - then fire away.
Good luck to everyone!
