We continue with our 鈥渃onversations about change鈥� and focus this month on what we do after we go to a MI training or receive some exposure to MI. What we know from our own experience, and from research, is that continued practicing, coaching, and feedback is essential for us to...

In this MI blog, we have focused on many important aspects of MI including techniques, processes, spirit, and ambivalence. What we haven鈥檛 talked about much is 鈥淲hat MI is NOT鈥� and clarifying some things related to MI that may be confusing. For example, when working with a client, the clinician...

When Motivational Interviewing was first introduced, there was a great deal of focus on specific techniques that would support the client in exploring behavior change. However, Rollnick and Miller (1995) felt like something was missing as they went around and trained people. They felt like they had taught people the...

In early counseling therapies and treatment, there were many approaches where the clinician attempted to convince the client to make healthier choices in their lives. If the clinician were able to ask appropriate questions, provide important information, encourage certain emotions, and persuade the client to see things in a certain...

As a helping professional or clinician, there are times when we witness our clients making choices that we believe are not in their best interests and will not support them in reaching their desired goals. And in many cases, it can be extremely challenging to allow these behaviors to continue...

I believe it is important to start by discussing how Motivational Interviewing initially thought about disharmony between a client and a clinician as they explored change. When the first edition of Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change by Miller and Rollnick was released, the term 鈥渞esistance鈥� was chosen to represent the...

In a conversation about change with our clients, we are aware that ambivalence is a normal part of the process and we expect to hear some sustain talk. When we hear our clients using sustain talk or wanting to maintain the status quo, or stating that they don鈥檛 think they...

When we ask the client what matters most to them, it can be a good way to continue building rapport. This conversation can explore what the client really cares about and how these goals and values may guide their lives. And we also know that goals and values are aspirations,...

In a conversation about change with our clients, we are attempting to guide them towards making meaningful change in their lives that is sustainable. And as we all know, there will be some ambivalence along the way that needs to be worked through for this change to occur. How are...

The first approach we will explore together is Querying Extremes. This technique is designed to elicit change talk by asking the client to talk about the extremes of their (or others鈥�) concerns or potential consequences about their particular condition or behavior. As well, it also asks the client to describe...
