006 | The GREAT Relationship as a Solution-Focused Strategy: Interview with Jonathan D. Sherman, LMFT [external podcast]
In today’s episode, we talk with Jonathan D. Sherman, a Solution Focused Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, about
what fascinates Jonathan about Solution Focus
what differences Solution Focus makes in his family life
how he refocuses and trains his focus
appreciation and more secrets to have a great relationship with his wife Cara and their kids
what the GREAT relationship looks like and how it works: commitment, appreciation, loving behavior
how desired emotions are generated with consistent behavior
the power and reciprocity of “turning towards” behavior and hyper-appreciation
The weekly challenge is actually a 30-day experiment: Pick a loved one and refuse to say anything negative to them (no criticism, no complaint), and instead, every day, find something to sincerely appreciate them for and verbalize it or write it to them.
