Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

31 — Friday Fix: These 5 STEPS Will Sharpen Your Problem-Solving Skills to Get Through Challenges with Ease

Listen Later

Your problem-solving skills can directly affect mental health. Research shows people who learn better problem-solving skills reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia while also improving their relationships. Yet, most of us weren't taught a strategy for solving problems even though we face problems every single day.

Fortunately, there's a formula you can use to solve problems and improve your problem-solving skills. Whether you're faced with financial problems, relationship issues, work-related stress, or family problems, this strategy can help you become more efficient and effective at solving the problems.

Some of the things you'll learn:

  • Problem-solving skills have a strong correlation to mental health and the health of relationships.
  • Defining the problem is crucial before attempting to solve it.
  • Everyone has the ability to get better at solving problems.
  • You can learn to become more creative while also solving problems in less time.
  • There's no evidence that thinking longer or harder about a problem is the key to reaching the best solution.
  • The five-step process therapist use to help clients resolve any problem they're facing.
