MANAGING THE WHY CONVERSATION

Clients often want to know why. They are interested in information, personal information, that would explain something that they find confusing or mysterious: “Why am I this way? Why do I act against my own best interests?” “Why am I not able to get myself to do the very things that I really do want to do and achieve? What’s going on within me?” “Why was my childhood like it was? I don’t understand why a parent would do the things that my parents did to me.” “Why can’t I find my passion. I’m interested in lots of things but nothing grabs me like a passion in life like some people have.”
