Basics of Motivational Interviewing • Motivation for change is a state, not a trait. • People are at different levels of motivation or readiness to change for different changes. • Understand the cx’s readiness to change and support movement to the next stage. • Stages of change are predictable
Application to yourself • Think of three different changes you would like to make in your life. • How ready do you feel to make each of these changes? • Use a rating ruler to rate your readiness to change: NOT READY TO CHANGE UNSURE READY TO CHANGE TAKING ACTION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Stages of change • Precontemplation-several types • Reluctance • Rebellion • Resignation • Rationalizing
1. Express Empathy • Validate cx feelings and perspective • Recognize, name and explore ambivalence
2. Develop Discrepancy • Provide objective information • Cost/benefit analysis of “change” or “no change” • Heighten awareness of incongruities
Challenges/Confrontation-3 Steps • Recognize the incongruity • Present it to the cx • On the one hand… • Evaluate the effect: how did the cx respond? (see box 9-3) Write down a challenge response for the following statements:
Some examples Cx: I have good genes…my grandma ate whatever she wanted and she smoked…she lived to 98…I’m not worried about that kind of thing. Cx: No friendship is perfect. Sometimes her criticism hurts my feelings, but that’s just how she is. I’m not going to take it personally. Cx: I can always study more, but this teacher just doesn’t like me…it’s not really worth putting more time into because he’s not fair and picks on me.
The CCS • Denial • Partial examination • Acceptance and recognition without change • Generation of a new solution • Transcendance; development of new, larger, more inclusive patterns, beliefs, thoughts, behaviors
3. Roll with Resistance: it is a sign you are moving too quickly • Acknowledge cx response • Amplified reflection • Double-sided reflection-on the one hand… • Avoid arguing • Avoid a power struggle • Avoid trying to convince • Acknowledge • Explore reality of changing or not
4. Support Self-Efficacy • Identify successes • Explore what cx can do • Affirm cx thinking, action, decisions, etc. • Change language re: self • Change the script
