Motivational Interviewing Therapy

 

Motivational interviewing therapy is a type of counselling that applies motivation and emotional intelligence to help clients deal with personal and family issues. It’s a client-centred approach and works well for clients with positive feelings when it comes to changing their habits and behaviour. Furthermore, the therapy is designed not only to resolve problems but also to build self-esteem, confidence in one’s abilities or potential for success at workplace or community settings et al

Motivational Interviewing is a unique approach to addiction treatment that empowers people with their own recovery. It was originally developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick as an effective strategy for treating alcoholics, but it’s been proven time-and again on patients of all kinds – including those suffering from mental health issues like depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and many others.

What is motivational interviewing therapy (MIT) used for?

Motivational interviewing is a popular and effective way to help change your behaviours. However, this intervention works best with individuals who are unmotivated or unprepared for change, but it also helps those that have already decided on the need for lifestyle changes by showing them how emotional development can be necessary in order to reach motivation levels needed. So, it can be used for the following causes;

• Smoking secession
• Weight loss
• Diabetes care
• Cancer care
• Medication compliance
• Substance misuse
• Physical activity
• Gaming addiction
• More

Techniques used in motivational interviewing therapy

As seen above, motivational interviewing is a style of therapy that attempts to build upon the natural motivation people already have by focusing on what they are seeking from life. The goal, according to this approach, isn’t just relief but also growth and development in your personality through sharing personal stories with others who may be experiencing similar circumstances as you.

There are several techniques for conducting motivational interviews including open-ended questions like “What has been most rewarding about being successful?” Some of the techniques used include;

• Open ended questions
• Reflective listening
• Affirmations
• Summaries

Motivational interviewing is a powerful technique that can be used in addition to CBT for anxiety disorders, and social phobia. This approach has even helped some women overcome their fear of childbirth!

What do you stand to benefit by attending a motivational interviewing therapy?

Motivational interviewing is a highly effective form of mental health therapy with a variety of benefits to help yourself, and many others. This benefit includes five steps:

• We’re here to help you take responsibility for yourself and your actions.
• Escaping the grip of addiction is not an easy task, but with our proven strategies you can feel confident that your chances for success are high.
• You are the most beautiful person in this world. Building your self-confidence and trust can be difficult, but with a little help from a motivational interviewing therapist, it will get easier soon enough!
• Motivational interviewing helps clients to see the value in treatment.

What happens during a motivational interviewing therapy?

During this therapy, the therapist will interview you in a helpful and supportive manner, encouraging you to talk about your need for change and what makes it so difficult. 

Their role is mainly to evoke conversations about commitment at this time; motivational interviewing requires one or two sessions but can also be extended as an intervention along with other longer-term therapies. 

The “spirit” of motivational interviewing is always implemented with a particular tone. The collaborative, evocative and honouring autonomy approach aligns clients’ interests to their needs for motivation in therapy sessions. We consider the following in our practice;

• It’s better for both parties when you work together in harmony, rather than against each other!
• Sometimes the most interesting sessions are those that evoke rather than educate.
• Freedom to pick your approach over authoritativeness
