Communication is as much about listening as it is about speaking.


Communication Assessment Questionnaire

By answering the following questions and sending the answers to us before you come in to see your Therapist, we will know better how to hear you and understand the meaning in your words and the organic language that you use. It is important to know that this is not a test, there is no wrong answer – just your answer. Many of the questions are of a very personal nature, understand that the therapist is looking for statistical information only and not answers to specific questions. The assessment provides information on how you interpret cues and signals in human interaction.

Please answer the following Communication Questionnaire by clicking on “yes” or “no”. It is important that you answer every question. Do not analyze  the questions and do not go back over your answers if a question seems similar to one you have already answered, rather answer each question with the answer that first comes to mind on reading the question.

Your answers are confidential and remain the property of A Beautiful Mind Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Thank you.
