Here are the questions I ask each guest and I end with some Basic Bitch questions to bring it back up.
What belief systems did you grow up with?
When did you begin to question these beliefs?
How was this proces for you internally and also relationally - how did others react?
Were there any emotions that were punished during your upbringing?
What outcomes were you told that you might get in the long-term if you didn’t live up to the rules or expectations?
What are some messy things that you have become aware of, that you now have the opportunity to face willingly?
How does uncertainty feel to you these days as opposed to when you were beginning to deconstruct?
How can we (the royal we - your friends and community) support you? What makes you feel cared for and safe?
What's your Taco Bell order?
What's your coffee order?
Do you ever look at your screen time or would you rather not know?
What's your favorite movie?
What's your favorite album?
What's your favorite Beatles song?
Is there something in a specific movie that makes you laugh so hard you can’t breathe and it’s never gotten less funny for you?
