Booking THERAPY INTENSIVES FOR May and June!

How many times have you hesitated to ask a question, worrying it might sound "stupid"? We often hold back because we feel we should already know the answer and asking might make us look foolish. But the truth is, if you have a question, chances are most other people have the same question, too—they're just as hesitant to ask.

So, go ahead and ask. What are you wondering?

The Idea of the Week

The great part about “stupid” questions is that you will likely only need to ask it once. Once you ask the question, someone gives you the answer and you will not have to ask the question again. 

Asking questions is not just about finding factual answers, it’s also about building connections. When we ask questions out of genuine curiosity, we invite others to share their experiences. If you are curious how asking the right questions can strengthen relationships, check out Amber Wright’s 15-minute TEDx Talk on how changing our questions can help us build better connections. 

“I believe that relationships are life’s greatest currency, and communication is a transaction whereby we build our interpersonal wealth.

So, if you want to be wealthy in your relationship, I encourage you to think honestly and critically about how you engage with the world around you, and train yourself to be more thoughtfully curious.”

—Amber Wright
