What is Motivational Interviewing (MI)?
A Compassionate Approach to Overcoming Ambivalence
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a goal-oriented therapy that focuses on strengthening an individual’s motivation for change. Unlike confrontational or directive approaches, MI creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and gain clarity about their personal goals and values.
Key principles of MI include:
- Expressing Empathy: Therapists create a safe, supportive environment through active listening and understanding, helping clients feel heard and validated.
- Developing Discrepancy: Clients are encouraged to recognize the gap between their current behaviors and their desired future, increasing motivation for change.
- Rolling with Resistance: Instead of confronting resistance, therapists work with it, helping clients explore their doubts and find their own reasons for making changes.
- Supporting Self-Efficacy: By reinforcing clients’ strengths and capabilities, MI builds confidence in their ability to achieve and sustain positive change.
Who Can Benefit from Motivational Interviewing?
MI Helps Individuals Seeking Change in Various Areas, Including:
- Substance use and addiction recovery
- Anxiety and depression management
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) recovery
- Chronic illness and pain management
- Weight loss, smoking cessation, and other behavioral health changes
- Treatment engagement and adherence
If you or a loved one struggles with motivation or feels stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and resistance, Motivational Interviewing provides the tools and clarity needed to embrace change with confidence.
