Designating time for introspection.

Everybody want to know themselves better. Often in therapy, people come in recognizing that they would like for insight into themselves but they are unsure where to begin.

While there are almost infinite possibilities of where you can unpack more knowledge about yourself, here are a list of questions that I like to ask clients who need to get the creative juices flowing. I strongly suggest coming back to these or similar questions on a regular basis to keep the practice of introspection going.

1. When do I feel most like myself?

2. What am I most afraid of, and why?

3. What patterns keep repeating in my life, and what might they be teaching me?

4. How do I react to failure or rejection, and what does that reveal about me?

5. What does success genuinely mean to me—not society’s version, but mine?

6. What emotions do I avoid, and what might happen if I faced them?

7. When do I feel most at peace or most alive?

8. What part of myself do I find hardest to accept—and why?

9. What roles do I play in my relationships, and are they true to who I am?

10. What habits or beliefs do I cling to that no longer serve me?

11. If I could speak to my younger self, what would I say?

12. What am I currently pretending not to know or feel?

13. What do I need to let go of in order to grow?

14. What kind of life would I live if I weren’t afraid of judgment or failure?
