How would you respond to someone who told you they were only drinking 24 ounces of water each day?

You might be tempted to tell them about how important hydration is.  Or how more water intake can dilute bladder irritants.  Or show them a cool new water bottle you bought that can help.

But sometimes we're so excited to share what we know we forget to ask another question. 

If there's one clinical superpower we could gift to each of you, it would be the ability to ask more questions.  They don't even have to be good ones!  (Though they'll get better as you practice). 

Just ask follow-up questions.
Be genuinely curious.
Learn about their day-to-day.
Get specific.
Let them talk!

In a normal session, we really feel the patient should be talking for 80% of the time.  And that happens when you ask questions.

So your challenge this week - see how far you can get into your sessions by just asking questions.  Note when you have the urge to jump in with 'education' and put it on hold.  See what you find.  Think you can try that?
