Better questions

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.

Better questions to ask in therapy, from your own sessions

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.

Example

Better questions

Alex · Tue 2:00 PM · Session 14

Three places you could have gone differently:

  • After “I don't know why I keep doing this”: “What usually happens right before you decide not to say anything?”
  • After the long pause about their sister: “What showed up for you just then?”
  • After “It's probably not a big deal”: “What makes you want to make it smaller?”

Your most popular FAQs

What makes a good question in a therapy session?

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.

How do therapists get better at asking questions?

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.

What does the Better questions job show me?

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.

Does it critique the client's answers?

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.
