Clarifying Questions

Clarifying questions help us along our healing journey. These questions are not designed to fix, give advice, judge, or criticize; they aid us in thinking more clearly about our thinking. Deep and insightful friends can do this for each other, asking thoughtful questions which may not elicit immediate answers. Such questions can also be found in books or on the internet, or in quality psychotherapy sessions.

Probing questions can lead us to the answers that free us, encourage us, expose the lies we’ve believed and allow us to embrace the truth instead. The value of clarifying questions cannot be overestimated. Pursue the questions and discern the answers. Ask, seek, knock.
