WHAT’S GOOD?

Diane Webb, LCSW

Often, the first thing I ask a consumer at the beginning of a session is “what’s good”? Sometimes when things are very bad in our lives we have a difficult time recognizing what’s good. Here are a few questions to help you identify what’s good.

Is at least one person you care about healthy?

Did you eat in the past day or so?

Do you have clothes to wear?

Can you breathe on your own?

Can you walk or at least get around on your own?

Did you sleep under a bridge last night?

Do you have hands/arms?

Are you able to go outside or look out a window at least once a day?

Are you living in a free country?

Do you have leprosy?

Do you have clean water available?

How did you get to this appointment?

Can you see?

Can you hear?

Can your read?

Has it ever been worse?

Can it get worse?
