Send us a textHey listeners, today's episode comes with a bonus—I accidentally turned an interview into a therapy session.Elliott Connie breaks down Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a fast, outcome-driven approach to change. It's not about problems; it's about moving forward—whether in life, fitness, or anything else.Then we hit a common parenting dilemma: Is screen time really the enemy? Elliott flips the script—what matters isn't less screen time but more family connection, dinner table talks, and real-world experiences (woah, maybe focusing on the solution is really the key here). Positive thinking and the law of attraction? Not magic, not science. They boost mood but won't change your life. Real change comes from defining your goals and making choices that align with them.Are your daily actions moving you forward or just feeding short-term gratification? Fall in love with the version of you that's on track. Success isn't about feeling good now—it's about staying the course.Elliott says winners keep their eye on the prize, even in setbacks. The real challenge isn't morning motivation—it's pushing through when you're drained.And then, the bigger picture. With Donald Trump newly inaugurated in the USA, Elliott drops this: “This is not the country I thought it was.” When did hate become so acceptable? His solution: honor people with love and respect.As you tune out, ask yourself, What outcome do you want? What difference would it make? Quitting is easy. Success means choosing discomfort over and over again. Get addicted to outcomes.What's Inside:What is Solution-Focused Therapy?Is screen time the problem we think it is?How to get addicted to outcomes?Getting through dark times in the world.You might have sensed my hesitation when it came to that conversation about screen time…I need to deep dive into my feelings about this, but it is changing something in me—my reaction to information and what I wanna do with it. So what are you going to do about this information? Ready to get focused on your solution and achieve the outcome you're after? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned In This Episode:Change Your Questions, Change Your Future Elliott Connie Elliott Connie (@elliottspeaks) on Instagram Join the Masters of Fitness Awesomeness Goals, Grit and some Woo Woo Shit with Oonagh Duncan

This episode is an adapted version of a presentation that Adam Barfoot, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP, gave at the 2024 Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselors Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on June 15th, 2024. In this episode, Adam discusses the therapeutic skill of encouragement, the Adlerian philosophical concepts of how all actions are purposeful, phenomenology (which means therapists understanding their clients' perspectives), and lifestyle (which means the client's blueprint for facing challenges in life). Adam also discusses the 4 phases of Adlerian therapy in this episode. While this episode, is not a complete overview of Adlerian therapy, this episode is about how Adam specifically implements Adlerian therapy with clients who are in recovery from addiction.
