There isn't a 'correct' answer. This is something my therapist and I have discussed so many times. The desire for there to be a correct answer is something about me and my need to not 'get it wrong'. So I've learned that abut myself and as a result I've learned to deal with the frustration that comes with it. Questions are simply tools to open paths to explore. Questions may seem or be vague, but it is not to put expectations on the response, it is to not influence the exploration.
