RUDYARD KIPLING’S Questions

 

Whatever technique or therapy you chose to use you can’t go very far wrong when asking questions which are based on Rudyard Kipling’s quote.

 

I keep six honest serving men

(they taught me all I knew)

Their names are WHAT and WHY and WHEN

and HOW and WHERE and WHO

 

So when meeting with a new client, or even when starting a new piece of investigation with them, you could start by asking :

ü     Tell me WHAT happened

ü     Tell me WHEN that happened

ü     Tell me WHERE that happened

ü     Tell me HOW that happened

ü      Tell me WHO was there

 

And more often than not, you don’t need to ask WHY, however if you feel you need to ask that, how about asking:

Tell me WHY you feel that happened

 

This type of questioning is similar to that which you use when working with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques):

·          Tell me WHO that reminds you of

·          Tell me the first time you remember WHEN that happened

·           Tell me WHAT else that reminds you of

 etc etc

 

These types of questions are referred to as being ‘Open questions’ as opposed to ‘Closed questions’ such as:

o       Are you feeling alright?

o       Did you get a good night’s sleep? 

where their response could be a simple “Yes” or “No”.

 

And if you aren’t using these types of questioning techniques currently, it’s very easy to begin to ask them, and the responses give you a lot more information.  So why not try them?

 

 

 


Should you wish to use any of the techniques or procedures described on these pages, you accept full

responsibility for your own emotional, psychological, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and health.
