​
Questions To Ask In Consultation
​Ask Questions! You are a peer. If you have different preferences, share them with your consultant and request for your consultant to offer supporting research for tools/techniques, you name it. This will allow you to make the most informed decision on what you choose to apply in your practice. Do not stay in the dark. Ask for evidence.
-
What is your theoretical framework and how do you case conceptualize?
