Start with one of these structures in the Reveal category

The Reveal category helps you notice patterns, assumptions, and tensions in your own thinking or behavior. These structures invite you to look beneath the surface — without self-criticism or pressure to change.

Revealing is not about digging for problems.
It’s about seeing what’s shaping your actions, so you can respond with more awareness.

Use Reveal when something feels stuck, charged, or unclear, and you want insight before taking action.

How to use (and adapt) these structures

Liberating Structures are originally created to work with groups and the different voices that live inside groups. But it turned out that they also work great to guide the conversation with the different voices that live inside you. The magic trick: use templates to follow the questions and always write down your answers. Just ask yourself the right questions, learn to listen and include different views and search for patterns.
