Motivational interviewing or mi, is perhaps not what you think. Mi is not about giving people motivation. It's not about compliance or persuasion, or pressure or subtle threats about natural consequences. Instead, mi is about eliciting a person's internal desire to change.
Imagine a conversation where your words can inspire change. That's the essence of Motivational Interviewing (MI), a transformative approach in behavioral health. In this episode of 'Essential Connections: Tips and Techniques for Case Managers', Dr. David Freeman, a seasoned psychologist with decades of experience, breaks down MI into digestible, practical steps. MI isn't about forcing change but about sparking a client's internal motivation.
By tuning into clients' goals and helping them resolve their uncertainties, case managers can guide them toward positive outcomes. Dr. Freeman dives into core MI techniques like active listening, encouraging 'change talk', and setting achievable goals. He also highlights the importance of empathy and rolling with resistance to help clients articulate their desires for change. If you're on the front lines of mental health and substance abuse services, this episode is a must-listen.
It's packed with actionable insights that can make a real difference in your work. Tune in and discover how MI can become a powerful tool in your case management toolkit.
