Questions about the Past and/or Future to help people:
- Imagine a time when they were more engaged in their health
- Imagine the positive outcomes of engaging in their health
Here are some examples of how you might engage patients in thinking about their past or future:

- What helped you be successful with the cathing program when you were first injured?
- What would your life look like a year from today if you were independent with your pressure relief?
