Objectives and Summary:
In part two of her three-part series, Johanna Leal dives deeper into the strategies behind motivational interviewing. This therapeutic approach helps therapists, clinicians and practitioners help patients and clients work through obstacles related to their personal, familial and work lives.
This week’s session focuses primarily on change talk versus sustain talk, discussing how mental health professionals can utilize change talk to help bolster a client or patient’s ability to make decisions and progress toward difficult goals.
After watching the presentation, the viewer will be able to:
- Recognize when someone is using change talk versus sustain talk
- Formulate questions that help elicit change instead of cause clients or patients to become entrenched in their current state
- Understand the stages of change model and how it relates to motivational interviewing
