Is this the most recent version? Says revised June 2015.

Persuasion is listed as a behaviour count but I would have seen it as something that goes against MI spirit. Why is it seen as being equivalent as other behaviour counts like reflections, affirm, etc?

That last exercise really got me thinking... I was staring at my piece of paper wondering how / why I'd placed Emotional as both a strength and a red flag, when the discussion turned to Cognitive and/vs Emotional empathy.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this shows up in the next phase of my MI style...

We didn't spend time on affirmations in this workshop. For more information for those who wanted it -

In MI you put on strength based lenses and you see people for their qualities, efforts, abilities, and it is also appreciation.

Affirmation is skill building and boosts a person's self-efficacy and self-confidence. It is not praise which tends to be hollow and a judgement of the person.

Consider these two statements

"You are a good parent."

"Your children are your priority and you make sure you are there for them and that they feel safe and loved."

The second statement provides more detail and focuses on the person's efforts and their qualities. The first is more of a judgement from the practitioner.

I sometimes literally say ‘… and there’s a ‘dot dot dot’ there’

This doesn’t need an answer as such, but instead of separate categories for simple and complex reflections, is there room for these be considered instead as a spectrum? Coding could therefore be scored by % complexity rather than a binary.

I have copied a link to the Talking To Change podcast series produced by Glenn Hinds and Sebastian Kaplan. In this episode they are talking with Jordan Braciszewski, PHD, about MI in Telehealth (remote) that has been in use long before the pandemic pushed us to use it more.

Thanks for an excellent and enjoyable day one!

Pendulum approach - some examples

OARS vs EARS

Is there a technique for when you feel stuck or don’t know where to go in a MI conversation and worried it will come to an awkward stop? I.E., what to do if it feels it’s all going ‘wrong’.
