When the Solution Becomes the Blockage

Often, it’s not the problem that keeps us stuck, it’s the way we try to solve it.

Strategies that once worked eventually stop working, yet we keep repeating them out of habit, control, or fear of changing course.

In Brief Strategic Therapy, we start right there:identifying those attempted solutions that no longer help and that silently maintain the blockage.

When a once-useful action becomes a rigid pattern, the problem emerges.Real change begins when we stop reinforcing what no longer works and introduce new, precise actions adapted to the current context.

Change the logic of the action, and the system shifts.
