Answer

The answer is "Suppose you were to go home tonight, and while you were asleep, a miracle happened and this problem was solved. How will you know the miracle happened? What will be different?"

Explanation
Option 1: "What are some miracles that have happened to you?"

This question is asking about past events and does not fit the typical structure of a "miracle question" used in therapeutic settings.

Option 2: "Suppose you were to go home tonight, and while you were asleep, a miracle happened and this problem was solved. How will you know the miracle happened? What will be different?"

This is the classic "miracle question" used in solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). It encourages clients to envision a future where their problem is resolved, helping them to identify goals and potential solutions.

Option 3: "Let's say that a few weeks, months, or more time has elapsed and your problem has been resolved. What would you be doing then that would show that things were better?"

While this question is future-oriented and useful in therapy, it is more about envisioning a resolved state over time rather than the immediate change implied by a "miracle."

Option 4: "When you're fighting against that depression, what tools do you use that help you the most?"

This question focuses on coping strategies and tools, which is important in therapy but does not align with the concept of a "miracle question."
