That's really the point, that we can choose what we say carefully, and reinforce CHANGE TALK, that is, speech from the client about changing, not from the clinician. Also, we act as collaborators, and not "top down" educators.

I am a gestalt counselor nd I work with experiments and homework as well. How do you deal with the part of counseling that doesn’t boil down to speech over in the U.S.? would be interested in knowing more about counseling & MI in your country.

If someone doesn't want help, it often very difficult to convince them that they need it.

The goal of MI is to help patients feel that empowerment.

You will always refer to all the resources at your disposal, from people to the knowledge, and you will use that knowledge to make wise decisions about your treatment. That's my idea of empowered patient.

I agree that MI is "brilliant"! It's been a terrific set of tools for me, both in my work as a nutrition coach, and in my personal life as well.

I hope to be able to better implement this into my lifestyle.

Working with kids can certainly be challenging, and MI is very useful. My business partner, Gary Rose, is conducting an MI workshop on using MI with Kids and Families on April 11 and 12 here in Boston at Northeastern University. Perhaps you can join us.

It is facinating how quickly rapport is established by showing non-judgemental interest in their lives and experiences. It is not long before they are openly sharing their thoughts and ideas with me and the group, and wonderful to observe the evolution of those ideas as they become change talk. It is extremely satisfying to be able to honestly tell them that I learn as much from them as I hope they learn from me. Establishing and maintaining rapport is paramount.
