Episode notes

The key to understanding why certain questions work lies in the sequence in which they are asked. By beginning with questions that establish trust, mutual love, and respect, moving on to examining challenges and vulnerabilities, and culminating in questions about pain and gratitude, the answers become more profound. This sequencing creates a powerful journey that enhances the impact of the final question, such as 'why do you love me'. Beyond the initial set of 13 questions, further questions can be added for each section, like exploring the truth one hates telling themselves or their favorite lie. These additional questions delve deeper into individual introspection and reflection.
