How Radical Curiosity Drives Meaningful Change
How Radical Curiosity Drives Meaningful Change
By Wayne Klee, LPCC-S, LMHC
This blog explores how deep, intentional self-reflection—what Wayne Klee calls radical curiosity—can lead to lasting emotional healing and meaningful personal change. Therapy provides a space to uncover and process the unseen wounds that shape our behavior, especially those rooted in trauma, isolation, or shame. But healing goes beyond symptom relief; it requires exploring the beliefs and emotional patterns beneath the surface.
Klee emphasizes that practicing radical curiosity in daily life—by pausing to ask deeper “why” questions during emotional reactions—helps bring unconscious patterns into conscious awareness. This creates opportunities for growth, compassion, and new ways of relating to ourselves and others. Rather than striving to fix everything, radical curiosity invites us to see with “new eyes,” shifting our perspective in ways that foster insight, resilience, and lasting change.
