Answer the following questions honestly. This can be used as a guide if you ever encounter a situation where you would need to provide counseling to another person 1. Building Rapport / Strengths Could you tell me some things about yourself? What do you enjoy doing? What are you good at? Describe what an awesome day would be like for you. What would the important people in your life say what is awesome about you? What do you enjoy learning about? 2. Goals How will you know that meeting here today was helpful? How would you know that coming here was worth your time? What do you hope to get out of visiting here today? What do you hope to see happen instead of what is bothering you? 3. Miracle Question If you could wave a magic wand and things changed, how would you know magic has happened? What would be different? What would you be doing differently that showed you your hopes came true? What else would be different? What other changes would you experience? Who would notice a change had happened? What would they see? 4. Exceptions to the Problem & Competencies When are the times that "the problem is not such a problem? What is different? When does the problem" not bother you so much? How have you managed so far to deal with the problem" What has helped so far? Even if it has been just a little help. How have you found the courage to deal with this problem? 5. Scaling On a scale of 10 to 0, where 10 means your hope and goal has come true and O is the worst you can imagine, what number are you now? How will you know you have moved up one number? What will one number higher look like? How would you be able to move up one point? 6. Closure / Plan / What will you try differently or do more of when you leave today? What experiment can you try out? What is the best thing you noticed about yourself today?​​
