QUESTIONS, LEVEL 1

• Have you ever fled from problems by acting like they didn’t exist?

• Sometimes we don’t act logically when we’re feeling down. Instead of confronting our problems, we avoid them. Do you relate to this kind of behaviour? How? Possible follow-up questions: What kind of avoidance can you relate to? Watching porn, working, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, working out, gaming?

• When you avoid your problems, how do you think it affects the people around you? Give examples. Possible follow-up question: Do you often think about how it affects others when you’re feeling down? 

• What are the consequences of avoiding problems instead of solving them? Possible follow-up question: Have you ever felt that your problems grew, or that new problems arose because you ignored the main problem?
