Ever wondered how therapists help people find their way out of addiction? This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast brings you a fascinating conversation with Dr. Dru Kemp, a seasoned psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience. Dr. Kemp dives into the world of motivational interviewing (MI), a unique method that helps individuals tap into their own motivations for change.
You'll hear about the different stages of change, from pre-contemplation to action, and how therapists use open-ended questions and active listening to guide patients through these phases. One key takeaway? The patient-therapist relationship is crucial. Dr. Kemp emphasizes that trust and rapport are the bedrock of successful MI therapy. He also shares his experiences using MI beyond addiction treatment, including training welfare workers to motivate women to re-enter the workforce.
And it doesn't stop there—MI has shown promise in mental health settings too, helping people with mental illnesses engage in treatment. Looking for a good therapist? Dr. Kemp offers practical tips, like finding someone who listens more than they talk and uses MI techniques. This episode is a treasure trove of insights into how motivational interviewing can be a game-changer in addiction recovery and beyond.
