A Primer on Motivational Interviewing
A 7- day mini course that teaches you how to support your clients make lifestyle behaviour changes
Are you ready to make a change to your counseling style to achieve better health outcomes for your clients?
This 7-day mini course will give you a good overview of Motivational Interviewing that will work as your first steps towards a counseling style that has been scientifically proven to be effective.
And, I am saying this with my own personal experience. My practice has radically changed since I started incorporating motivational interviewing strategies when counseling my clients.
A few years ago it was ME who was doing all the work for my clients. I was setting their agenda, setting their priorities & even designing their action plans. And what was the end result: NOTHING CHANGED or THERE WAS MINIMAL CHANGE. I was exhausted, frustrated & felt helpless since I knew the value in making lifestyle changes for my clients.
And then Motivational Interviewing happened to me! It changed everything. Now as I incorporate motivational interviewing strategies, principles & techniques into my counseling practice there are so many aha moments that I witness & experience. It is an amazing feeling!
This mini course offers you a clear understanding of how the behaviour change process occurs & how you can apply Motivational Interviewing strategies to move your clients from a resistant mindset to an action mind set.
