“Using the eight Wonder Anew questions forced me to think really honestly and bluntly and admit that I kind of ignore my problems…'I don’t have time right now...' or 'I’ll think about that later.' – female, age 24
"The questions help me process personal difficulties by allowing a progressive framework to direct my energy in a positive way...like a stream leading to a larger water source rather than a maze that gets me going in circles." - Lyndsey, age 28
“My dear brother passed away in May of 2015. I did not have much of an emotional reaction at the time. In fact, it was more like numbness. Susan introduced me to the Wonder Anew questions, and the entire process was profound. I had been in therapy years before. However, answering the questions and asking Susan to listen to what I wrote did more than talk therapy, leading me both into my own heart and into the heart of my lack of reaction to my brother’s death.” - Susan, age 65
“Writing the answers to the Wonder Anew questions relaxes me and lets me think about my patterns with less emotion.” -female
“I love that I can now see how the magic of answering the questions happens. I do the questions once and then go off to learn and absorb. Then I return with new understanding (again and again) – and it’s okay. I don’t have to have all the answers.” – female, age 38
“About question #2. I don’t think I can underestimate the importance of acknowledging feelings and a sense of self, and finding the freedom to do so... My cousin committed suicide just after high school, and no one even knew he was unhappy until after it happened. Using the Wonder Anew questions today helped me feel empowered to focus on what I can learn to make positive developments in my life.” – University graduate student, female
“The questions helped me realize the pressure I was putting on myself to have all the answers. I assumed that I should be able to easily solve parenting challenges. The questions helped me see that the problem I was struggling with was much deeper than getting my sons ready for bed. Uncovering that my problem was an attitude I adopted—that, as a mother, I should carry the weight of my children's problems—helped me see the stress it imposed on them and me.” – Danielle Poling
“I meditated. For 7 minutes the whole world and time slowed down. I became calm and more aware. Using the questions, I learned that I use assertiveness in order to repress my emotions.” -female
"I saw that I preferred complaining about a problem and the person I dislike." - female, age 22
