Imagine the Miracle

Welcome the student warmly. Explain that today they’ll use their imagination to picture a miracle that solves a problem they’re facing. Encourage them to be as detailed as they like.

What Is the Miracle Question?

Introduce the core tool from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Read the question slowly and let the student absorb it.

Close Your Eyes and Imagine

Guide the student through a brief breathing exercise to settle in. Invite them to close their eyes and breathe deeply.

Explore Your Senses

Prompt the student to use their senses. Pause after each question to let them visualize.

Notice Emotions & People

Encourage the student to focus on feelings and people in their vision. Ask for descriptions and names.

Follow-Up Questions

Use these questions to deepen the discussion. Let the student answer each, then follow up if they pause.

Capture Your Vision

Hand out the [Draw Your Morning After Worksheet](#draw-your-morning-after-worksheet). Encourage creativity—words, pictures, or both are fine.

Ready to Reflect

Prepare to wrap up. Remind the student to note one feeling and one small goal on the [Feel-Good Reflection Worksheet](#feel-good-reflection-worksheet).
