Meta Questions
Ask questions to confront yourself, your belief system, your values and your generalisations.
As more questions, as more Awareness
-
DELETIONS are one form of generalisation.
Ask yourself - about whom or what?
Example. I don't like him/her!
Ask :: What about him don't I like?
or: I don't understand! - Ask: I don't understand what.
-
LACK OF REFERENTIAL INDEX.
Ask yourself. Who or what specifically? Example: No one wants me!
Ask: "who specifically does not want you?
or: This is hard!
Ask. What specifically is hard about that?
-
UNSPECIFIED VERBS.
Ask yourself. How specifically? Example: He rejected me!
Ask. How, specifically, did he reject you?
or. They ignore me!
Ask: How, specifically, do they ignore you?
-
NOMINALISATIONS are nouns which describe an ongoing event, and this has to be changed back into a process word.
Example. I don't get any recognition!
Ask: How would you like to be recognised? or.
I want help!
Ask: How do you want to be helped?
- UNIVERSAL QUANTIFIERS: refers to the set of words typified by; all - every - always - never - nobody etc.
ASK YOURSELF BY EXAGGERATION!!
Example: I never do anything right!
Ask. Do I absolutely never, never do anything right.???
- LACK OF CHOIC E-Typically victim position. Words like: I can't or have to, must, etc. The challenge is. What stops you or what would happen if you did?
Example. I can't do it. Ask: What stops me?
or. I have to finish by Tuesday!
Ask: What would happen if I didn't?
- MIND READING. this refers to the belief that one person can know what another person is thinking or feeling without communication - or without knowing yourself where you got that knowledge from.
Good for belief systems and values etc.
Ask yourself. How specifically do I know?
Example.. I know what is best for me!
Ask: How, specifically do I know what is best for me?
Where is that knowledge coming from, parents etc.?
- JUDGEMENT: laying your trip on somebody else - Challenge in asking, For whom?
Example: This is the right way to do it! Ask: This is the right way for whom?
