Motivation comes out through having a dialogue with the person, not by them reading a book or watching a video or getting educated, but by having a dialogue with them about. Having a dialogue about any reasons to change is important.
What if you could inspire change in someone struggling with substance use just by talking to them differently? In this episode of the PCSS Podcast, mental health counselor and educational specialist Mr. Raymond Isackila, Ed.S., LPCC, LICDC, dives into the technique of motivational interviewing (MI). Known for his work at University Hospitals of Cleveland and collaborations with organizations like the NFL, Mr. Isackila brings a wealth of experience to the table.
He unpacks how MI, a method that uses empathy and open-ended questions, can help patients discover their own reasons for change. Instead of pushing patients towards decisions, MI encourages them to voice their own motivations, fostering a sense of self-efficacy and commitment. The episode sheds light on how addressing ambivalence and understanding patient values can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Whether you're a healthcare provider or someone supporting a loved one through recovery, this conversation offers practical insights into creating meaningful dialogues that can lead to real change.
