SFP 84 - Episode 84: Trust the Model: A Constant Immersion in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Teaching, and Supervision with Jocelyne Lopez-Korman
“Everytime you meet a new client, you learn something from that person.“
“I think the spirit is there, the thinking about and the curiosity about what people want. It’s about that!”
“The main focus is about what people want to achieve and to be different, how they want to be in the world and what happened already. It’s still about that, but with that in your head, you can really do the work in many different ways.”
“Is there something there that you think could be useful for you? So, the keyword is what is useful for you, what is possible and what is useful.”

I had the pleasure of being in the two day workshop with Jocelyn and Harry at SFBTA. I got to see “trusting the model” in action. Trust that it works, know that it works. Perfect.
