Childhood is usually associated with joy, happiness, fun. However, this is not always true. That period may also be the worst in a person's life and directly impact the rest of their life. Childhood and experiences gained during, often have consequences in adult life. It is not always apparent that those specific events and situations from childhood are the cause of given actions, decisions, and behaviours. Places and people that a young person grows up around will always remain in their memory.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps to break vicious circle of negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Understanding individual elements in the chain of reactions allows us to change them, which in turn changes our feelings. The aim of the therapy is to lead the patient to the point where he is able to "do it alone" and develop his or her own methods of dealing with the problem.

The behavioural evaluation of challenging behaviours allows for the acquisition of information about all behaviours that limit a child, their functioning, and educational abilities. Obtaining information about the specific behaviours and accompanying environmental stimuli allows for developing a plan of action, with the aim of reducing such behaviours.

Autistic children fear any changes and rebel against them. Their dislike of change is sometimes accompanied by aggressive or autoaggressive behaviour.

Rigid behavioural patterns are a source of problems for parents and therapists, as they may often cause problems at school. Naturally, one seeks to change them; however. Perhaps in some instances, one should consider accepting the behaviours and working out a way of living with them. Sometimes, these predictable behavioural patterns, once identified, can be used to the advantage of parents and teachers.

Experiencing difficult emotions is absolutely understandable and justified. A problem arises in the reaction, which occurs under the influence of emotions. The solution to the arisen problem is applying the opposite action, which not only changes, but also regulates emotions.

In SFBT model, you can achieve your goals by searching for and activating previously effective solutions.

SFBT proposes simple therapeutic tools, but this does not mean that it is easy to use. The central philosophy applies to both the therapists and the clients themselves and is contained in three major tenets: If it isn’t broken, don't fix it, One you know what works, do more of it, If it doesn't work, then don’t do it again - do something different.
