Palo Alto Method

The Palo Alto Method is a problem-solving approach developed in therapy, focusing on understanding and changing patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It emphasizes that issues often stem from unconscious, recurring communication patterns within relationships. By analyzing these patterns, individuals can identify dysfunctional cycles, such as repeated conflicts or avoidance, and work to interrupt them. This method encourages awareness of how people interact and how their internal responses influence these interactions. The goal is to foster healthier communication and relationships by bringing unconscious patterns to conscious awareness and making intentional changes.
