How to Use These Therapy Questions
Before a session: Review the questions and select prompts relevant to the client’s current concerns and therapeutic goals.
During sessions: Use appropriate questions to open discussion, explore experiences or encourage reflection when it feels helpful.
For deeper exploration: Adapt follow-up questions to clarify meaning, identify patterns and understand the client’s perspective.
