A Dialog Template: The Easy Way to Ask “Safe” Questions
One of the problems new practitioners encounter, is they ask their IC “loaded” or “prejudged” questions, without really knowing they are doing this. This upsets the IC, especially if you do this within your session, and it will often retaliate or become upset but the IP does not know why.
For safety reasons, you can use this Dialogue Template to begin your session when your Inner Child doesn’t have any particular pressing issue it wants to discuss. This is how I often begin a session and is also how I teach clients to begin making up their own questions.
Starting your session this way means you will have your Inner Child’s immediate interest, which often has the session speeding by. This Dialogue Template represents a three step procedure:
1. After the Opening, begin your session with this question.
“Inner Child, is there anything you would like to talk about?”
Inner Child response.
2. After it answers, and you respond TY, etc, ask:
“Inner Child, what about ____________________ ?”
(Write out EXACTLY whatever your IC just answered in question one.)
3. After your Inner Child answers, ask:
“IC, is there anything else about ____________________ ?”
(Whatever it said in question one.)
This works quite smoothly once you practice a few times. The trick is to never leave a sequence without question 3 being asked and your Inner Child saying, “No.” Let’s say your Inner Chid is no longer interested in talking about ___________.
If there is more time available, continue your session by asking.
1. “IC, is there anything ELSE you would like to talk about?”
2. Repeat question 2.
3. Repeat question 3.
Don’t forget to follow the 23 Tips, “TY” circled, etc, as usual.
Doing your session this way guarantees a positive experience for your Inner Child. If you have any questions email me.
