The miracle question is a technique often used in solution-focused therapy to help clients envision a future where their problems have been resolved.

What would be the first small signs that things had changed?"

This question can be useful in a session with a client because it helps them shift their focus from the problem to the solution. By asking the client to imagine a future where their issue is no longer a problem, it can help them identify their goals and what steps they need to take to achieve them. It can also provide a sense of hope and motivation, showing the client that change is possible and helping them to see the potential for a positive outcome.

Overall, the miracle question can be a powerful tool for helping clients to envision a future where their problems have been resolved and to identify the steps they need to take to get there.
