Episode 12: The Art of Evocative Questions with Suzi TuckerWhat if a question is not meant to give an answer—but to open a door?In this conversation with Suzi Tucker, we explore the art of evocative questions and the power of a good question.Suzi is a teacher, writer, and long-time voice in the field of Family Constellations, and she shares how she approaches her work as a collaboration, where the client is the guide.We speak about listening, timing, and what it means to ask from what is already present rather than from assumption or interpretation.We also touch on some of the unique questions Suzi brings into her work, like: Who sits with you at the kitchen table?, one word for your mother or father, and how old are you?—questions that don’t push for answers, but open something.Toward the end, we bring this into everyday life —how we ask our children about their day, and what helps a real connection happen.After our conversation, Suzi shared this quote from her upcoming book, Take Every Step: A Work in Progress (coming this summer), which feels very connected to what we explore here:“In the universe,there are things that are known,and things that are unknown,and in between there are doors.”— William BlakeConnect with Suzi Tucker:https://www.suzitucker.comConnect with Iris Shaham:https://www.irisconstellations.com© 2025 You, Me & the Family Tree.
