Do you feel like you are stuck and don’t know where to go or what to do? If so then this may help you out. People when they are stuck are asking a lot of different questions. How did I get here? What do I do now? Where should I go from here? These questions can be useful to
help you get a better understanding of what the problem is or help you understand the scope of the issue that you are facing. For some people that may be enough information to get them back on their feet and moving forward. For others these questions can help them feel stuck because there may not be clear answers to these questions. This is where Solution Focused Therapy’s Miracle Question can help you find the answers you may be looking for. “If you were to wake up tomorrow and the problem you are dealing with is now gone, what would be different?”
The Miracle Question is a technique found in Solution-Focused Therapy that invites a person to imagine their world without the issues that are bothering them. It asked a person to look for the difference between this world and the person’s current reality. Through this
exploration a person can find the things or behaviors that they need to change in order to make that imagined world a reality.
The Miracle Question is a great tool to use to help you find solutions for problems that you are currently facing. This question works well for a wide variety of issues that people face every single day. This can include issues in a relationship, anxiety, stress, issues at work,
depression and much more. So the next time you feel like you are stuck or struggling with an issue try asking yourself the Miracle Question and see where it goes. You can also reach out to a Mental Health Counselor and have them ask you the Miracle Questions. See what solutions you can come up with and see how your life can change when you start asking different questions.
