We too often think that deep conversations have to be painful or vulnerable conversations. I try to compensate for that by asking questions about the positive sides of life:
- “Tell me about a time you adapted to change.”
- “What’s working really well in your life?”
- “What are you most self-confident about?”
- “Which of your five senses is strongest?”
- “Have you ever been solitary without feeling lonely?” or
- “What has become clearer to you as you have aged?
