Learning Goals: 1. To understand the underlying spirit and approach of MI. 2. To recognize the reflective listening responses and differentiate them from other counseling responses. 3. To be able to provide at least 50% reflective listening responses during a conversation. 4. To recognize change talk and be able to differentiate commitment language from other types of change talk. 5. To list and demonstrate several different strategies for eliciting client change talk.
A workshop without follow up is unlikely to make a significant difference in practice.
Research indicates that personal feedback and performance coaching are necessary to effectively integrate MI skills. 4 Recommended Skill-Development Format How to Integrate this Training Study •Workshops •Readings •Tapes •Videos •Website •Review Research Practice •Training •Audio/Video critiques •Coaching •Feedback Extend •In vivo application •Further training •Mint •List serve 5 •Measure effectiveness The Transtheoretical Model of Stages of Change

Stage 1 - Precontemplation “What, me have a problem? No way!”
Stage II – Contemplation “Maybe I need to change something, but I’m not sure what to do”
Stage III – Preparation “Yes, there’s a problem and I’m going to change it”
11 Stage IV –Action “I’m doing something about my problem.”
Stage V – Maintenance “I’m an old pro now.”

19 Motivational Interviewing: An Overview
Miller and Rollnick (2002, 2 nd Ed.)
20 Principles of Person-Centered Change
1. Our services exist to benefit others. 2. Change is fundamentally self change. 3. People are experts on themselves. 4. We don’t make change happen. 5. We don’t have to come up with all the solutions 6. People have their own resources to effect change 7. Change requires a collaboration of experience. 8. Start where the client is: “Seek first to understand.” (Covey) 9. A conversation about change is not a power trip. 10. Motivation is evoked, not installed. 11. It’s not a change goal until the client adopts it. 21 MI and Change
• What is Motivational Interviewing? • What is it for? • Why would I want to learn this? • How would I use it?
“Things do not change; we change.” – Henry David Thoreau
“MI is about arranging conversations so that people talk themselves into change.” – MI 3, p.4
22 “Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.” - Stephen R. Covey, (1932-Present)
23 Why Do People Change?
• People change voluntarily only when:
– They become interested in or concerned about the need for change.
– They become convinced that the change is in their best interests or will benefit them more than cost them.
– They organize a plan of action that they are committed to implementing.
– They take the steps necessary to make and sustain the change.
24 Sources of Motivation:
External Pressure + Internal Motivation
Externally motivated subjects had long term outcomes only when they also had high levels of internal motivation
(Deci, 2000) 25 Self Determination Theory: SDT
Internal motivation is enhanced by: •Autonomy Freedom to choose • Competence Self efficacy • Relatedness Relationships heal
BREHM’S REACTANCE THEORY = whenever a particular behavior is threatened, the desirability of that behavior increases. Ex: “You can not use drugs while on probation!” 1. (Brehm 1981) 2. (Miller, Rollnick 2002) 3. (Hubble Duncan and Miller, 1999) 26 New Findings on Motivation:
• Motivation predicts action • Motivation is changeable • Motivation is behavior specific • Motivation is interactive • Internal motivation lasts longer than external
27 Key Concepts about Motivation “Motivation is the application of energy to act in pursuit of some perceived (goal).” Keller, 2012
“Most people trust themselves more than others. People learn about their own attitudes by hearing themselves talk.” - Bem, 1972
“Change is an inside job, that flows from internal motivation.” Weinstein, 200228 Key Concepts about Motivation “MI is not done ‘to’ or ‘on’ someone, it is done ‘for’ and ‘with’ a person.” MI 3, p. 15 “A motivational conversation entails capturing change-talk and using it in a manner that moves one in the direction of their goals.” Webb, 2015 “You are a midwife, assisting in someone else’s birth. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to happen.” Tao Te Ching29 Probability of Behavior Change
Clinician talks about why change is important. Client nods head.
Client thinks about why change is personally important
Client talks about why change is personally important
Client makes verbal commitment to change
30 Low High Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a directive, client centered approach that enhances motivation for change, by helping individuals clarify and resolve their ambivalence about change, and by eliciting change language. It is based on the principles of collaboration, evocation, and antonymy; while supporting self efficacy. This approach has shown good outcome in clinical research with diverse client populations. It is especially effective in working with resistant clients. This two (2) day training is designed to provide a broad overview of the entire system of Motivational Interviewing. However, the specific focus for this introductory session will be on conveying the spirit and major principles of the model. Recent research has demonstrated that retention and proficiency of practical application of MI is significantly enhanced by follow up sessions, which include a review of work samples and MI coaching.
Objectives of this training: • To increase participants’ knowledge of Motivational Interviewing. • To exhibit the appropriate application of stages of change model to the Motivational Interviewing approach. • To demonstrate via lecture, video, and group activities the spirit, principles, and skill set for the application of Motivational Interviewing. • To provide in vivo practice of MI listening skills and methods for recognizing and dealing with change talk. 31 Motivational Interviewing
• Layperson’s Definition: – Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change.
• Practitioner’s Definition: – Motivational Interviewing is a person-centered counseling style for addressing the common problem of ambivalence about change.
32 What MI is NOT
• Just being nice • Rogerian therapy • A “technique” • A panacea • Comprehensive Theory of Change • Transtheoretical Model (TTM) • Decisional balance • Assessment feedback NOT required • A way of manipulating people
33 How to Learn MI: 8 Skills
1. Openness to underlying assumption and spirit of MI. 2. Proficiency in client centered interpersonal skills, especially accurate empathy. 3. Recognize change talk and commitment language. 4. Minimize resistance in responding to sustain talk. 5. Skill in eliciting and responding to change talk. 6. Formulate an effective change plan. 7. Enlist commitment to the plan. 8. Blending MI with other therapies. (Explore and resolve ambivalence – ongoing)
34 Where people get stuck in MI
1. Underlying Assumptions 2. Reflective Listening 3. Recognizing Change Talk 4. Evoking Change Talk 5. Collecting Bouquets (Summarizing) 6. Responding to Resistance 7. Evoking and Strengthening Commitment 8. Transfer to Other Therapeutic Methods
35 A Motivational Interviewing Parable
A traveler in ancient Greece had lost his way and, seeking to find it, asked a man by the roadside who turned out to be Socrates. “How can I reach Mt. Olympus?” asked the traveler. To this inquiry Socrates is said to have gently replied “Just make sure that every step you take goes in that direction.”

44 Questions Regarding Each MI Process
Engaging • How comfortable is this person in talking to me? • How supportive and helpful am I being? • Do I understand this person’s perspective and concerns? • How comfortable do I feel in this conversation? • Does this feel like a collaborative partnership?
45 Engagement Traps to Avoid
1. Assessment 2. Expert 3. Premature Focus 4. Labeling 5. Blaming 6. “Chat Therapy”
46 Questions Regarding Each MI Process
Focusing • What goals for change does this person really have? • Do I have different aspirations for change for this person? • Are we working together with a common purpose? • Does it feel like we are moving together, not in different directions? • Do I have a clear sense of where we are going? • Does this feel more like dancing or wrestling? 47 Questions Regarding Each MI Process
Evoking • What are this person’s own reasons for change? • Is the reluctance more about confidence or importance of change? • What change am I hearing? • Am I steering too far or too fast in a particular direction? • Is the righting reflex pulling me to be the one
arguing for change? 48 Questions Regarding Each MI Process
Planning • What would be a reasonable next step toward change? • What would help this person to move forward? • Am I remembering to evoke rather than prescribe a plan? • Am I offering needed information or advice with permission? • Am I retaining a sense of quiet curiosity about what will work best for this person? 49 Phase I: Build Motivation to Change (Why)

53 “If a patient wants to go, let him go. If he wants to stay, let him stay. Do not deny him what he wants and do not suppress him. If we comply to his wishes and let him satisfy his needs, then all of his excessive positive force will be appropriately discharged and he will consequently get well.” - Zhang Zhongiing Ca. 200 A.D.

55 Motivational Interviewing Facilitates Change By:
• Reducing resistance • Raising discrepancy • Eliciting change talk • Responding to change talk •Creating a change plan • Sustaining change
56 Conditions that Enhance Change Rollnick and Miller (2002) Motivational Interviewing: • is a client centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. (p.25) • elicits change from within, (not imposed). (p. 326) • makes client responsible for change. (p. 326) • avoids direct persuasion. (p.326) • is interactive/directive. (p. 327) • resolves ambivalence. (p. 327) • works through the therapeutic “partnership”. (p. 327)
57 Key Assumptions Behind Motivational Interventions
• Encourage empathy • Maintain congruence • Promote collaborative spirit • Recognize ambivalence is normal • Resistance can be altered • Support self efficacy
58 Principle 1: Express Empathy.
• Acceptance facilitates change. • Skillful reflective listening is fundamental. • Ambivalence is inevitable.
59 60 “Being empathic is to perceive the internal frame of reference of another with accuracy and with the emotional components and meanings which pertain thereto...it means to sense the hurt or pleasure of another as he senses it and to perceive the causes thereof as he perceives them...” - Carl Rogers
61 Components of Empathy
1. Cognitive: Understand another’s situation, perspective, feelings, and motives 2. Affective: Appreciation of emotional reactions to perceived experiences 3. Behavioral: Capacity to communicate understanding; verbal and nonverbal expression
• Different from “detachment” • Not the same as “sympathy” 62 Empathy – “The not so secret sauce” that:
• Expedites therapeutic rapport • Boosts client satisfaction • ______treatment efficiency • Improves treatment outcomes • Reduces practitioner stress
63 Strategies for Conveying Empathy
Non verbal Stance Verbal • Voice tone • Welcoming • Inviting input • Facial • Respectful • Open ended questions expression • Authentic • Reflective listening • Pausing • Accepting • Non interrupting • Eye contact • Patient • Checking for accuracy • Posture of understanding • Asking for permission
64 Principle 2: Develop Discrepancy.
• Client presents argument for change. • Discrepancy is the difference between present behavior and future goals. • Exaggerate discrepancy.
65 Discrepancy (2)
“Are your current behaviors leading toward or away from your goals/values?”
Status Quo Goals
“Sustain Talk” “Commitment Language” vs.
(No Change) (Behavior Change) = = Resistance Motivation
66 Principle 3: Roll with Resistance
• Avoid arguing for change. • Avoid direct opposition. • Invite new perspectives, do not impose. • Client is responsible for finding solutions. • Resistance is a signal to respond differently.
67 Principle 4: Support self-efficacy
• Self efficacy = a client’s belief in their ability to succeed. • Reinforce self efficacy frequently. • Individual is responsible for change. • Provider’s view of client’s self efficacy affects outcome.
68 Traps to Avoid
Question Answer Trap Trap of Taking Sides Expert Trap Labeling Trap Premature Focus Trap Blaming Trap
69 Communication can go wrong because…
1. The speaker does not say exactly what is meant. 2. The listener does not hear the words correctly. 3. The listener gives a different interpretation to what the words mean. 4. The speaker does not “feel” understood.

I don’t now “Yes, you do, in your heart.” #6 what’s best!” “Well, I just feel trapped, stifled in our “Have you thought about separating relationship.” for a while to see how you feel?” #3
“But I love him, and it would hurt him “Yet, if you don’t do it, you could be #2 so much if I left!” wasting your life.”
“But isn’t that kind of selfish?” “It’s just what you have to do to take #4 care of yourself.” “I just don’t know how I could do it, “I’m sure you’ll be fine.” #10 how I’d manage.” 74 Non-change Behavior (From the Client)
Categories of “resistance” •Arguing •Interrupting •Negating •Ignoring
75 Four Categories of Client Resistance Behavior
Arguing • Challenging • Discounting • Hostility
76 Interrupting • Talking over • Cutting off
77 Negating •Blaming •Disagreeing •Minimizing •Pessimism •Reluctance
78 Ignoring •Inattention •Nonanswer •No response •Sidetracking
79 Four Core Skills of MI (OARS)
(O): Open ended Questions (A): Affirming (R): Reflective Listening (S): Summarizing
80 Using O.A.R.S. 1. Ask open ended questions.
2. Directly affirm and support the client.
3. Listen reflectively.
4. Summarize periodically.
81 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Open-ended questions: • What brings you here today? • How has this problem affected your day to day life? • Where do you hope your life might be different 5 years from now? • Where do you think this path that you’re on is leading you? • What would you say are the five things that you most value in life? • How do you hope I might be able to help you? 82 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Closed-ended questions: • What is your address? • How long have you been feeling this way? • How many calls have you made? • Do you smoke? • Do you think you can do this? • Who lives with you? • When did you have your last drink? • Where did that happen? 83 EXERCISE Is it an open or closed question?
1. What do you like about your current situation? ___ 2. Is this strategy effective? ___ 3. What kind of specific assistance are you looking for? ___ 4. Have you ever considered just going to AA? ___ 5. Isn’t it important to you to follow your doctors orders? ___ 6. What obstacles do you anticipate in making the specific changes we’ve discussed? ___ 7. What are the most important reasons for making these changes? ___ 8. Don’t you care about your health? ___ 9. What do you think about coming back for a follow up visit? ___ 10. Is this an open or closed question? ___ 84 Open-Ended Questions
•Stimulates elaboration •Asks for more than 1 word responses •Examples: •“What would you be doing differently if you had already made the change you're considering?” •“How might you get from where you are today to where you want to be in the near future?”
85 “Good listening helps a person keep going, to continue considering and exploring what may be uncomfortable material.” MI 3, p. 49
86 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Affirming • To Affirm is to: – Accentuate the positive – Recognize and acknowledge the good – Supports – Encourage – Positive regard and respect • What you say, think, and feel matters
87 AFFIRM = “you” statements (motivates)
VERSUS
PRAISE = “I” statements (roadblock)
88 Affirm/Support
•Use complements and statements of appreciation and understanding Examples: “I think it’s great that you want to tackle this problem.” “I appreciate your willingness to discuss this.”
89 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Examples of Affirmations: • “You really tried hard this week!” • “Your intention was good even though it didn’t turn out as you would like.” • “Look at this! You did a really good job of keeping records this week.” • “Thanks for coming in today, and even arriving early!” • “So you made three calls about possible jobs this week. Good for you!” 90 91 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Well Formed Reflections: • Guess at meaning / hypothesis testing • Decrease Defensiveness, Increase Exploration • Moves the conversation forward • Assumes client knows best • Focuses on client narrative (not providers) • Sees through client’s eyes • Solidifies engagement
92 Reflective Listening
Techniques That Reduce Resistance
Simple Reflection Amplified Reflection Double sided Reflection
93 Simple Reflection
Repeating or rephrasing what a client has said to you is one way to let the person know that you heard them.
Client But I can’t quit using. I mean, all of my friends get high!
Facilitator – Quitting seems nearly impossible because you spend so much time with others who use.
Client – Right, although maybe I shouldn’t.
94 Amplified Reflection
With this, the facilitator will want to cause the client to disagree with what’s being said. The facilitator may exaggerate or intensify the point in order to accomplish this, however, it is important not to over embellish. If the client feels threatened he or she may respond in anger.
Client But I can’t quit using. I mean, all of my friends get high!
Facilitator – Oh, I see. So you already couldn’t quit because then you’d be too different to fit in with your friends and they might not accept the “new you”.
Client – Well, that would make me different from them, although they might not really care as long as I don’t pressure them to quit. 95 Double-sided Reflection
The facilitator reflects both the current, resistant statement with a previous, contradictory statement that the client has made.
Client But I can’t quit using. I mean, all of my friends get high!
Facilitator – You can’t imagine how you could not get high with your friends, and at the same time you’re worried about how it’s affecting you.
Client – Yes. I guess I have mixed feelings.
96 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS) Types of Reflections: 1. Simple = Paraphrase 2. Complex = Adds Meaning and Feelings
Simple Reflections are what shows above the water.
Complex Reflections are what shows beneath the water.
97 Asking Questions v. Making Statements
• You’re feeling uncomfortable? • You’re feeling uncomfortable.
• You don’t think this is a problem? • You don’t think this is a problem.
• You’re considering divorce? • You’re considering divorce.
98 Summaries (1) Three types: 1. Collecting – The bouquet: Putting it all together 2. Linking Phrases – “On the one hand...on the other” “At the same time” Ex. – “On the one hand, you’re concerned that your drinking is affecting your health. On the other, you’re not sure if you want to stop.“ 3. Transitional to the next phase – “Let me see if I have everything so far...” (at the end of one session) “Let’s review briefly where we are...” (at the beginning of the next session)
99 Summaries (2)
• Special form of reflection • Selective – facilitator chooses what to emphasize • Lets client know you’re listening • Includes: Client’s concerns about change, problem recognition, optimism, and ambivalence about change • Invite client to respond: “Have I left out anything...?”
100 CORE MI SKILLS (OARS)
Summarizing • Collecting – “a bouquet” • Linking – Connecting past and present • Transitional – Shifting from old to new.

Summary
103 Strategic Responses to Diffuse Resistance
1. Shifting focus = Move attention away from barriers. 2. Reframing = A positive interpretation to negative info. 3. Agreement w/twist = Agree with client, then add change of direction. 4. Side w/the negative = Take the “no change” side of ambivalence. 5. Personal choice = “It’s really up to you.” 6. Support self efficacy = Emphasize hope, feasibility, optimism 7. Coming Along Side = Match client’s position.
104 Types of Change Talk Self-Motivating Speech
• Disadvantages of Status Quo • Advantages of Change • Optimism for Change • Intention to Change
105 Recognizing Change Talk “DARN CaT” • What is Change Talk? • How do we know when we hear it?
We listen for and strengthen natural language expressions of change: D=Desire to Change (the “want to”) A=Ability to Change (confidence) R=Reasons to Change (argument for) N=Needs to Change (importance) C=Commitment to change (“I’ll try” – “I’ll do”) and T=Taking Steps (“I’ve done...”) 106 Change Talk
• DARN predicts commitment talk
• Commitment talk predicts change
• Taking Steps = Change is happening
107 Flow of Change Talk
Desire Commitment Ability And Change Reasons Taking Steps Need (DARN) +(CaT) = Change

William R. Miller, Theresa B. Moyers, and Paul Amrhein (2005)113 Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico, Albequerque Methods for Evoking Change Talk
1. Asking evocative questions “What worries you about this?” “What problems has this behavior created for you?” 2. Elaborating – Ask for Clarification – Ask for specific examples •In what ways…? •How much…? •What else? 3. Using the importance ruler 4. Exploring the decisional balance
114 5. Querying extremes “What’s the worst that could happen if you don’t make a change?” “What’s the best thing that could happen?”
6. Looking back – Compare past to present (Ex.) “Do you remember when things were going well? What changed?
7. Looking forward – Envision a changed future What would be better about your future?
8. Exploring goals and values •Compare current behavior with values. •Enhance discrepancy. •Use positive motivation toward goals.
115 Responding to Change Talk (1)
EARS Elaborating change talk Affirming change talk Reflecting change talk Summarizing change talk
116 Responding to Change Talk (2) (E.A.R.S.)
E – Elaborating “So you’re thinking about setting a quit date. Tell me a little more about that.” A – Affirming “I think it’s great that you’ve picked out an AA meeting to attend.” R – Reflecting “So you’ve scheduled a time to meet with a personal trainer, and you’re eager to get going.” S – Summarize “Now let me see if I have all of this, you have begun...”
117 Readiness for Phase II Work
• Decreased resistance to change. • Decreased discussion about the problem and a feeling of waiting for the next step. • A sense of resolution in which the client may seem more relaxed and unburdened about the problem. • Increased change talk. • Increased questions about change. • Greater envisioning a future that includes the changes. • Experimenting with possible change actions between sessions.
118 Two Phases of Motivation
Phase 1 Phase 2 Building Motivation Strengthening Commitment
119 Phase II Activities: Strengthening Commitment to Change (How)
1. Recapitulation (Grand Summary)
2. Ask Key Questions · Where do we go from here? · What do you want to happen? · What’s the next step · Where do you see yourself in 2 4 weeks? · What might interfere with this? · Who are your support people?
3. Provide information/Advise with permission · May I offer some possibilities/options? · Are you interested in some suggestions? · Are you open to other considerations? · Would a review of some options be helpful? · Are you looking for helpful information? 120 4. Negotiate a Change Plan · Go to Change Plan worksheet
5. End tasks: · Summary Reflection · Close the deal “Is this what you want to do?”
6. Helpful Hints · 2 Reflections/questions · We can dance or wrestle · Empathy=accurate reflection of client’s meaning · Avoid questions or comments that elicit resistance · Reduce resistance, evoke change talk · Stabilize the changes

William R. Miller, Theresa B. Moyers, and Paul Amrhein (2005)133 Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico, Albequerque Change Questionnaire William R. Miller, Theresa B. Moyers, and Paul Amrhein (2005) Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico The CQ was developed as a brief measure of six different components of motivation for change, based on psycholinguistic analyses of natural language (Amrhein, et. al., 2003). In order to complete the questionnaire, the respondent must have a particular change in mind. That change is specified at the top of the questionnaire, and the open line (______) in each item then represents that same change. It is also possible to modify the items of the CQ to specify a particular change. For example, “quit drinking” could be substituted for the open line in every item. Item 1 would then read, “I want to quit drinking.” (The instructions at the top of the questionnaire would also need to be modified.) The key word in every item is intentionally emphasized by boldface italic font in order to focus respondents on the aspect of motivation that is being queried.
Scoring Key: There are six subscales, each of which consists of two items. Each subscale score is the sum of responses to the two key items. The six subscale scores can also be summed to compute a total CQ score.
