  15. Motivational interviewing

  16. What for?

  17. Definition of MI • Directive, client-centered • To elicit behavior change • Clients explore and resolve ambivalence

  18. Concepts of MI • Readiness to change • Ambivalence • Resistance

  19. Principles of MI • Express Empathy • Roll with Resistance • Support Self-efficacy • Develop Discrepancy

  20. Empathetic Listening Practice • So, what have you noticed about the effect of alcohol on your mood? • How is the new exercise program going for you? • How do you feel about going back to work?

  21. Self-Motivating Statements Client: I hate feeling like an old man with this walker, like I’m weak and frail, but when I don’t use it I’m afraid to go anywhere because I might fall. Therapist: So you feel like the walker makes you look weak but you’d like to get out more? Evil Therapist: Well, you really will be frail if you fall again, so you better use the walker. Silly Therapist: It doesn’t make you look weak!

  22. More self-motivating Client: It’s not fair! I’ve had to give up everything- eating sweets is the only thing that makes me feel good anymore. Of course, I don’t like the insulin shots. Therapist: It seems that eating sugary food comforts you but you would rather not be dependent on insulin?

  23. Pros and Cons Approach

  24. Client with MS In pt. Out pt. Pros Cons Consistent care PT and OT Positive support Counseling Scary, bad memories Husband mad Stress increases fatigue Familiar home Husband happy Easier Depend on husband Stressful environment Miss therapy

  25. Brainstorm Approach • What exactly is the problem? • What have you tried so far? • What are things to try- no matter how crazy? • Select one option. • Select an option to try if the first one doesn’t work.

  26. What NOT to do • Argue • Assume expert role • Talk all the time • Should on your client • Tell the client they have a problem • Prescribe solutions (especially without listening!)

  27. Stages of Change Model

  28. What do you want to change? • Exercise more • Eat healthier • Stop smoking • Stop drinking • Be less co-dependent • Kick that heroin habit once and for all!

  34. Know your client’s stage Mismatch between intervention and client’s readiness for change = resistance

  35. Transfer to practice • How can you use motivational interviewing in your practice? • In what stage of change are your clients? • How can you move them from one stage to the next?
