interviews and interrogations:

There is a way to ask questions that elicits the truth and there is a way to ask questions that causes avoidance, deceit, and lying. That is to say, how you communicate verbally and nonverbally causes another to open up or shut down. Most of us were raised, at home and in school, with the adversarial communication model. The adversarial model, a way of communicating/relating, unconsciously creates adversaries.

Eliciting the truth is not about asking the right kinds of questions nor is it about using the right tone or volume of voice. It's about intention. If you are unaware that you communicate from an adversarial communication model you will unconsciously co-create adversaries.

To master interrogation you must be a safe space for the truth to be told.

The tutorial is supportive for those intent on mastering communication.
