REAL PLAY COMMON BRIEF INTERVENTION STYLE www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Exercise #1: The Speaker • TOPIC: Something about yourself that you • want to change • need to change • should or ought to change • have been thinking about changing but you haven’t changed yet i.e. – something you’re ambivalent about www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Helper: Find out what change the person is considering making, and then: • Explain why the person shouldmake this change • Give at least three specific benefits that would result from making the change • Tell the person how they could make the change • Emphasize how important it is to change • Persuade the person to do it. • If you meet resistance, repeat the above. P.S. This is NOT motivational interviewing www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
4 Common Assumptions about Change • Insight Induction - if you can make people see, then they will change • Knowledge Induction - if people know enough, then they will change • Skill Induction - if you teach people how to change, then they will do it • Distress Induction - if you can make people feel bad or afraid enough, they will change www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com

Where’s the problem? I can fix it. The righting reflex
Persuasion:What Goes Wrong? www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Persuasion does not help to increase motivation when….. OR when the person is….. www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Ambivalence The dilemma of change • People are almost always ambivalent about change – ambivalence is normal • Lack of motivation can be viewed as unresolved ambivalence. AMBIVALENCE is the key issue to be resolved for change to occur. www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
When Worlds Collide www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
The dilemma…. Direct persuasion is not an effective method for resolving ambivalence What do you say, if you’re not making suggestions, educating, or warning? www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
A taste of MI www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Taste of MI Work in groups of 3 One speaker and two helpers Helper #1 will go first Helper #2 – listen carefully but don’t speak yet M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
Speaker’s Topic Something about yourself that you want to change need to change should change have been thinking about changing but you haven’t changed yet i.e. – something you’re ambivalent about M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
Helper #1 Listen carefully with a goal of understanding the dilemma Give no advice Ask these six open questions: Why would you want to make this change? What are the three best reasons to do it? What do you think would be some of the consequences of not making this change? “If you decided to make this change, what would you to do be successful?” “How would you feel about yourself if you did make the change?” On a scale from 0 to 10, how important would you say it is for you to make this change? And why did you choose ## and not a lower number? M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
Helper #2 Give a short summary/reflection of the speaker’s motivations for change including: Why they want to make the change and the best reasons for doing it Consequences of not making change How would they go about changing and how they would feel if successful Reason why it is important to do Then ask: “So, what do you think you’ll do?” Exercise continue - M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11

Motivational Interviewing Style in Action Therapist elicits behavior change Respects autonomy of the patient Tolerates patient’s ambivalence Helps patient explore consequences of choices being considered www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Shift in Method • Common Methods • Rely heavily on counselor insight • Emphasize information exchange • Counselor does most of the talking • Motivational Interviewing • Rely heavily on counselor reflective listening and positive affirmation • Emphasize client’s reaction to information • Counselor prioritizes elicitation of “change talk” or client arguments for change www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Motivational Interviewing • Requires clients themselves to do much of the psychological work • Helps clients think about and verbally express their own reasons for and against change and how their current behavior or health status affects their ability to achieve their life goals or fulfill core values • Encourages clients to make fully informed and deeply contemplated life choices, even if the decision is not to change • Makes no direct attempt to dismantle denial, confront irrational or maladaptive beliefs, or convince or persuade www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Therapeutic empathy PERSON-CENTERED STYLE www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Express Empathy • Empathy is not: • Having had the same experience or problem • Identification with the client • Let me tell you my story • Empathy is: • The ability to accurately understand the client’s meaning • The ability to reflect that accurate understanding back to the client M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
"Empathy is listening to people and showing them what you hear - in a way that helps them understand what they are saying and makes it easier for them to act on this understanding." www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Empathy Scale Primary Empathy Advanced Empathy ReflectImpliedFeelings and Meaning ReflectExpressedFeelings ReflectImpliedFeelings Non- Empathy RephraseSummarize Recognize Ambivalent Feelings www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Therapeutic impact of EMPATHY • Promotes self-reflection, values clarification and new perspectives. • Related with constructive results and more functional behaviors in clients. • Clients learn to listen to and observe themselves. (Watson, 2002). www.shiftingperspectivesinc.com
Traps to Avoid Question-Answer Trap Trap of Taking Sides Expert Trap Labeling Trap Premature Focus Trap Blaming Trap M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
Why are these “roadblocks”? • They get in the speaker’s way. In order to keep moving, the speaker has to go around them • They insert the listener’s “stuff” • They communicate: • One-up role: Listen to me! I’m the expert. • Put-down (subtle, or not-so-subtle) • Roadblocks are not wrong. There’s a time and place for them, but they are not good listening. M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
Eliciting ability change talk What gives you the courage to go after what you want? What do you already do well that will help you make this happen? What would be the first thing you’d do in order to succeed? M.D.Daugherty, PhD 5.26.11
