MI worksheets and resources
motivational interviewing (MI)
MI is a collaborative conversation about ambivalence, including reasons to change and reasons to keep things as they are. The therapist listens for the client’s own reasons and respects their choice about what happens next. Exploring importance and confidence can distinguish wanting change from feeling able to attempt it, without turning the conversation into persuasion.
