Live Session Role
This tool is designed for practitioner-led conversation. It should not be assigned as an independent client form.
Exception-Finding Questions for live SFBT sessions
Exception-Finding Questions is a live-session-only SFBT tool for practitioners. It helps a practitioner and client identify times when a dominant problem was absent, less intense, or handled better, and capture the conditions, actions, or interactions connected to those moments.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
It captures exception moments and the conditions, actions, or interactions associated with them.
Important Limits
It does not score symptoms, explain causes, or prescribe future steps.
Is this a client questionnaire?
No. It is a live conversational scaffold with structured practitioner note capture.
Can more than one exception be captured?
Yes. Multiple exceptions should be captured separately so their conditions and actions remain clear.
What happens if no exception is identified?
The result remains incomplete and should show unresolved exception identification rather than inventing one.
