Solution-Focused Counseling Verbatim (using Gerard Egan’s Model)
This was based on having the Apostle Paul as a client, who is in prison.
Stage One – What’s going on?
1.1 Obtain the story
C: What brings you in today?
P: Well, I’m fed up! I should be out their preaching the Gospel but instead I’m sitting here chained
up in Caesar’s palace.
C: How frustrating!
P: It is! I’ve been in prison before, but never this long. Usually an Angel or an earthquake has
been sent to set me free by this point!
C: So this is the first time you have had to endure so long? P: Yes, I feel trapped, like I’m totally
powerless!
1.2 Reframe the story
C: How have you been able to make it through?
P: Well, I pray a lot.
C: Prayer is important to you?
P: Yes, it brings me peace when I’m frustrated and maybe God will get me out soon!
C: What else do you do to handle your frustrations?
P: I think of my letter to the Philippians and try to focus on the good.
1.3 Discover the issues that matter
C: How would things be different if you weren’t stuck in here?
P: I would be back in action as the Apostle to the Gentiles.
C: Sounds wonderful! And what would that look like?
P: Well, I’d be preaching the Gospel and discipling people.
C: You have an important job! How would your life be different if you were preaching and
discipling?
P: I’d feel like I was fulfilling my purpose and pleasing God!
Stage Two – What Do I Want?
2.1 Uncover Imaginative Possibilities (exhaust all ideas)
C: What are ways you could preach and disciple even now?
P: Hmmm… You know, the guards don’t know Jesus.
C: Great idea! How else?
P: I guess anyone who came to the palace could be preached to if I see them.
C: Good thinking! How else?
P: I could write letters to the churches I visited to help them grown.
2.2 Choose Realistic Goals
C: Which of these could you do that would have the greatest impact?
P: Probably writing letters or talking with the guard because I don’t see many people here in the
palace.
C: Good idea! How could you go about doing that?
P: Well, I’d need parchment, pen, some way to deliver them.
C: Makes sense. Where would you like to start?
P: I think I’ll write the church in Galatia.
2.3 Find Incentives
C: How would writing the Galatians change your situation?
P: I wouldn’t feel so useless. I’d get to be doing what God called me to do.
C: Sounds important! What will it be like when that happens?
P: Well, I think the people of Galatia would be thrilled to hear from me. They’ve been expecting
me and were sad to hear I was in prison. So, they would be happy to be able to have me help
them!
C: Seems like you would really be making an impact!
P: Yes! They are a good church but they are having some problems.
Stage 3: Now what?
3.1 Brainstorm Numerous Possibilities
C: Well then, how can you make this happen?
P: I’m going to have to get in better with the guards so maybe they’ll help me.
C: Good idea, what else?
P: I’ll need to contact Timothy, I think he’ll take the letter for me and read it to them.
C: Great, what else?
P: I really need a lot of parchment because there is a lot to say.
3.2 Identify strategies with resources
C: Where would you like to start?
P: I think I’ll start with contacting Timothy – maybe he will deliver and get me parchment.
C: Good thinking. What will you do this week to accomplish this?
P: I’ll need help from the guards.
C: OK. How might they react?
P: I don’t know.
3.3 Implement a viable plan
C: Who would be the best guards to talk with?
P: I think I’ll try the night shift guard.
C: He’s a good one, huh. Who else, if he isn’t able to help?
P: I’ll try the guard who comes on the Sabbath.
C: Alright, so what’s your plan for to get this going this week?
P: I’ll let them know that Timothy’s parents have resources and can help their families. Then once
I get connected with Timothy I can really get rolling.
C: Excellent. First, the night shift guard, if not, then the Sabbath guard and there’s a good chance
they’ll cooperate to get resources from Timothy, who seems to have some available. I look
forward to hearing how this works out for you so that you can keep teaching and discipling even
now!
