Albert Einstein once said if he only had one hour to solve a very difficult problem, he would spend the first 55 minutes of that hour just identifying the question. According to Kasia Urbaniak, CEO and Founder of The Academy, we continually ask ourselves questions, whether consciously or just below the surface of awareness. These questions lead our attention, thoughts, feelings and behaviors far more powerfully than the things we already know.
In this presentation Ms. Urbaniak and Clinical Psychologist Johanna Herwitz, Ph.D. will discuss and demonstrate how to discover and guide the kinds of questions that women ask themselves in a clinical setting. By shifting the inquiry from “What is wrong with me?” to “What do I want?” questioning oneself can be transformed from self attack into an endeavor that both captures and legitimizes a woman’s desires and calibrates her attention towards the generative.
