Yes/no questions are tricky beasts. Many clients will ask “will (insert event here) happen?”. We have to be really careful with this, because a simple yes or no answer can not only rob your client of any responsibility of the situation, but also of opportunity. In addition to that, most of the time, after the simple answer you are going to get “how?” or “why?” or “ask again”. We are not Magic 8 Balls, we are Tarot readers. Mandy, Sharon and I sat down today and discussed how not to get caught up in this trap. We talked about when simple yes – no questions are actually appropriate, and when they aren’t (which is most of the time). In the cases when they aren’t appropriate, we discussed how to get better questions, what types of spreads will not only answer the question but also give pertinent information to help the client acheive their goals. Sharon and Mandy shared some brutal experiences that arose (before they were properly trained) from telling clients only “yes” or “no”. We are here to help you learn from our mistakes and our experiences. Thank you for being here! 🙂
