Why is Motivational Interviewing so effective

Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic approach that helps people make changes about which they are reluctant, and is now used broadly across a range of helping professions. Learn how to:

• Help clients find their own motivation to change by guiding rather than directing

• Work with ambivalence and strengthen clients’ confidence and desire for a brighter future

• Use empathic listening, affirmations, and reflective responses so clients feel heard and understood
