A Brief Motivational Interviewing Description
What is MI therapy when put into practice? Before participating in Motivational Interviewing Therapy, be sure to understand two very crucial aspects of the treatment, the core skills that the therapist will put into play and what the process will consist of.
The Core Skills of Motivational Interviewing are not particularly unique to the treatment, but they have shown themselves to be extremely effective in sessions.
- Asking open questions.
- Affirmation of real client successes.
- Reflective listening, perhaps the most important.
- Summaries that reflect on the client’s interpretations.
These core actions will not only help you see not just how much you have already accomplished and your own worth but will also play a key role in seeing the finish line of the treatments.
Motivational Interviewing Therapy is a four-step process, these processes can be summarized as:
- Engaging the client and establishing that you and your therapist are on the same team.
- Focusing on particular areas or steps of the process. Maintaining direction during treatment.
- Evoking your own want for change. No one is here to make you do anything. It has to come from within yourself.
- Planning a clear plan with realistic goals and results.
These are proven parts of the process that will be done sequentially in most sessions. Seeing your own worth and capacity for change can be difficult, but the Therapy Treatment Team will not give up on any client.
