There are the questions you asked, and then there are the questions you think of in the car afterward. Your Assistant gives you that second pass while the session is still useful.

Review this session and suggest a few questions I could have asked that might have opened the work up more. Ground them in moments where the client hesitated, generalized, changed topics, contradicted themselves, or seemed ready to go deeper.

Three places you could have gone differently:
Fictional example · No real client data.
See where your questions opened the work, narrowed it too quickly, stacked too much, or missed an interesting turn.
Get a few different ways you might have followed the client's language, affect, or pattern.
Steal the useful phrasing. Ignore anything that sounds like a therapist generated by committee.
Good questions open the work rather than narrow it: they follow the client's own language and affect, ask one thing at a time, and leave room for an answer you did not expect. Stacked questions, leading questions and questions that jump topic tend to close things down.
Mostly by reviewing their own sessions. Noticing where a question narrowed too quickly, stacked too much, or missed a turn in the client's story, and then trying an alternative next time, is how questioning improves. Supervision and recordings make that review possible.
It reviews the questions you actually asked in a session, shows where they opened the work, narrowed it, stacked, or missed an interesting turn, and offers a few alternatives that follow the client's language, affect or pattern.
No. It looks at your questions only: where they opened the work, narrowed it, stacked, or missed a turn. The client's material stays out of the evaluation.
