Questions to Elicit and Develop Worlds

Here is a presentation of a series of questions that may be used to elicit and develop information from the client.

This question takes a client into a Secondary World:

• “What kind of you were you before you were this you?”

These questions begin to develop the you in those Secondary Worlds:

• “What does / could / should / would that you know?” (note use of conditional statements)
• “And what else does / could / should / would that you know?” (note use of conditionals)
• “How old could that you be?”
• “What could that you be wearing?”
• “What does that you want to have happen?”
• “Does that you have a size or shape?”
• “What could that you be feeling?”
• “Whereabouts in that body, is that feeling?”

These questions begin to develop the people and their relationships in those Secondary Worlds:

• “Who could be around that you?”
• “Who helped that you?”
• “Who hindered that you?”
• “What does / could / should / would that person know?” (note use of conditional statements)
• “And what else does / could / should / would that person know?” (note use of conditionals)
• “Does that person have a size or shape?”
• “What could that person be feeling?”
• “Whereabouts in that body, is that feeling?”

These questions begin to develop the objects and their relationships in those Secondary Worlds.

• “What could be around that you?”

These questions begin to develop the space and objects in those Secondary Worlds, note the full use of 3-Dimensional space.

• “What is ‘in front of’ / ‘behind’ / ‘above’ / ‘below’ / ‘to the left of’ / ‘to the right of’ that you?”
• “And what is ‘in front of’ / ‘behind’ / ‘above’ / ‘below’ / ‘to the left of’ / ‘to the right of’ that …?”
• “Does that … have a size or shape?”
• “What kind of space is the space on the outside / inside of that …?”

These questions elicit information pertaining to the client’s ontological heritage. This can also be achieved by dragging the client back to before birth through Secondary Worlds:

• “Where did you come from before you were born?”
• “What was the nature of your being-ness prior to birth?”
