Problem-Solving Therapy

In general, the goals of problem-solving therapy are to help you to:
• To identify which types of stressors tend to trigger emotions, such as sadness, tension, and anger.
• Better understand and manage negative emotions.
• Become more hopeful about your abilities to deal with difficult problems in life.
• Be more accepting of problems that are unsolvable.
• Be more planful and systematic in the way you attempt to resolve stressful problems.
• Be less avoidant when problems occur.
• Be less impulsive about wanting a “quick fix” solution.
