  5. STEP 2: CLARIFYING THE GOAL • THE MIRACLE QUESTION • EXCEPTION FINDING QUESTION • SCALING QUESTIONS

  6. STEP 2: CLARIFYING THE GOAL THE MIRACLE QUESTION • “Imagine you go to sleep and in the night a miracle happens and the problem we’ve been talking about is solved. But since you’re asleep you don’t know this yet. What will be different tomorrow that will let you know the miracle has happened?” • Or: “Ideally, how would things turn out?” • Don’t accept the absence of the problem, but the presence of a new behavior!

  7. STEP 2: CLARIFYING THE GOAL EXCEPTION FINDING QUESTION • Are there times when this problem doesn’t occur (or is less severe)? • Are there times when things work well? • Follow up with • How do you get that to happen? • How does it make your day go differently when _____? • See page 61-62 in your EARS handbook!

  8. STEP 2: CLARIFYING THE GOAL SCALING QUESTIONS • “On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is all the of these problems are solved (the miracle) and one is the worst you’ve ever been, where are you today?” • If IG answers miracle question: “I would have won the lottery” you can use this as “10” and scale from there. That way realistic problem solving can still occur.

  9. ADVICE STEP 3: BRAINSTORM ALTERNATIVES • Exception finding question is a good transition to this step. • When has this happened before? • What did you do then? • What have you thought of doing? What else? • NOT: “Have you thought of ____?”

  10. STEP 4: EXAMINE & EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possible solution? • What will help or hinder you? How? • What’s the worst that could happen if…

  11. STEP 5: CHOOSE & MAKE A PLANChoosing • After evaluating alternatives, the IG might be ready to choose one • Which do you think you can and will do? • If you can’t decide, what’s stopping you?

  12. STEP 5: CHOOSE AND MAKE A PLANMaking a Plan • Allow IG to plan a course of action to reach goal. • What specifically will you do next? • How will you do it? • When? CAT PLANNING

  13. STEP 6: REACT & EVALUATE • You may ask: • How will you know you have succeeded? • What will you do if _____ happens? (if you don’t succeed) • What supports do you have available?

  14. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE SOLUTION • It’s their solution and problem, but if they make a decision that you really feel is not good or productive you can: • Fnd out their goals and ask them “how does that relate to your goal?” • Explore the consequences of their decisions
