ABSTRACT
In Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), feedback is never about being critical of the client. Effective solution-focused feedback, or compliments, are 'not in the compliment itself but in the evidence to the client, expressed through the compliment, that the coach is listening in a very different way to that which was expected'. When working with individuals, couples, and families within the transgender community, the idea of 'experiments' comes up a lot in-session. The minimalist homework assignment in SFBT originated in London, with BRIEF, and in the book Brief Coaching, the authors point out that 'It can be argued that what we notice as we go around our worlds is the inevitable basis for us to reach certain identity conclusion'. Looking at April's transcript, think about what one can learn about her. The author remembers meeting Craig in the summer of 2011, as he was trying to get though a tough break-up.
