“it is important to note that therapists are not trying to impose their ideas or thoughts on the person, to ‘change a person’s thinking’. Nor are they imposing an outside point of view into the conversation. They are asking questions that they do not know the answers to, and they are remaining curious. They are inquiring as to the ideas and context that may be supporting the existence of the problem; they are tracing the history of these ideas, how they came into the person’s life; they are asking questions that evaluate the effects of these beliefs, whether they are helpful or not. If these effects are judged not to be helpful, therapists are listening for unique outcomes – times when the person has acted in ways that indicate a breaking away from these dominant ideas. When these unique outcomes are identified, it is possible to explore them further as they are openings to alternative stories.”
