They wonder about that perhaps because solution-focused therapy is usually future oriented and the emphasis is not on the past but future.

Many of the basic techniques, such as exploring recovery in a future oriented fashion, examining coping strategies already used and scaling are excellent tools for facilitating recovery. In addition to these, you will learn in this workshop a number creative ways to help people heal from adverse life experiences.
