First write down the things you don’t like about yourself and your life, the problems you have, the things you would like to improve about yourself and your life circumstances. Then answer the questions.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to find all issues that can be improved with regard to personality, views of life, health, the course of life and talents. When the situation prior to the start of the treatment is documented, results can be more easily assessed. Without the questionnaire, there will be a number of changes as a result of the treatment that you will notice, but one doesn’t see everything, one doesn’t always notice all the changes. The questionnaire helps to see as many changes as possible. The questionnaire produces some information about yourself and your life, but this information is far from complete because most people don’t perceive all aspects of their own personality and life. Some people only perceive a very limited part of themselves. However, when a pattern has been sufficiently peeled off, you’ll suddenly be aware of aspects of your behaviour or life, that are dictated by this pattern, that you weren’t aware of before. This behaviour or situation will not be solved as a result, but this is a first change. Since one doesn’t perceive all aspects of one’s behaviour or life oneself, it is recommended that, in addition to this questionnaire, you keep a journal in which you write down your feelings, your thoughts, the things you say, the things you do or don’t do, the things that happen, your reactions, the reactions of others to you, the way your life fits together, the way you handle things, the things you’re not good at, … As a result, a completer image of you will be set down on paper.
Some questions look rather similar. When you feel that you have already given the answer to a question in a previous question, then you can skip this question. However, a question that is put in a somewhat different way, can induce a different answer and therefore provide additional information.
When answering a question, just write down everything that comes to mind at the time, even if this answer doesn’t entirely address that specific question. The point is to put in writing everything that’s going on. When answers might still come up at any given moment after filling out the questionnaire, then complete them as well.
When you notice any changes, then immediately write them down next to the question concerned, in a different colour, or make an additional list for all the changes. When you don’t write it down right away, chances are that you’ll forget about the change.
Another way to evaluate results is to fill out the questionnaire once again after two to five years.
The things that I don’t like about myself and my life, the problems I have.
