First, empty your cup

A scientist went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the scientist talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The scientist watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's overfull! No more will go in!" the scientist blurted. "You are like this cup," the master replied, "How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?" http://users.rider.edu/~suler/zenstory/emptycup.html

Learning Objectives At the end of this session, you will be able to: 1. Frame MI as a way of being with your client

– evocation versus installation 2. Review and practice the five key MI

strategies 3. Troubleshoot challenging practice

issues/cases 4. Identify barriers and enablers to

implementing MI skills with clients 5. Set concrete implementation objectives for

clinical practice

Motivational Interviewing Three Definitions

1. What is it for? Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation to strengthen a person’s own motivation for, and commitment to, change

Spirit of MI

Who was your favourite teacher?

Why?

The “Spirit” of Motivational Interviewing

• Partnership • Acceptance • Compassion • Evocation

• Absolute worth • Accurate empathy • Autonomy support • Affirmation

12 Miller & Rollnick 2013

Partnership

“You are the best judge of what is going to work for you.”

Acceptance

“I am here to help whatever you decide to do.”

Compassion

Guide me to be a patient companion, to listen with a heart as open as the sky. Grant me vision to see through his eyes, and eager ears to hear his story…Let me honour and respect his choosing of his own path.

Adapted from Miller, 2013, “A Meditative Preparation” (p.24)

Evocation

“What were you hoping for by coming here today?”

Common Human Reactions to Being Listened to

• Understood • Want to talk more • Liking the counselor • Open • Accepted • Respected • Engaged • Able to change

• Safe • Empowered • Hopeful • Comfortable • Interested • Want to come back • Cooperative

17 Slide from Bill Miller

2. Why would I use it? Motivational interviewing is a person-centered counseling method for addressing the common problem of ambivalence about change

Common Human Reactions to Being Listened to

• Understood • Want to talk more • Liking the counselor • Open • Accepted • Respected • Engaged • Able to change

• Safe • Empowered • Hopeful • Comfortable • Interested • Want to come back • Cooperative


But what if the person refuses to change?

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

3. How does it work? Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.


Change Talk

Change Talk and Sustain Talk

Opposite Sides of a Coin

Sustain Talk and Resistance

• Sustain Talk is about the target behavior • Discord is about your relationship • Both are highly responsive to counsellor

style • We respond to both in the same way


DARN CAT • Desire • Ability • Reasons • Need

• Commitment • Activation • Taking Steps

DARN CAT

• Desire • Ability • Reasons • Need

• Commitment • Action • Taking Steps

Snap fingers = DARN

Clap = CAT

Silence = No change talk Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT)

Listening for Change Talk

“Things are getting totally messed up with my courses.”



“My parents are the ones who are worried about my grades.”



“I am not addicted to smoking pot. I can quit anytime I want.”



“I want to get well again, but this whole situation is totally unfair.”



“I have started working out, quit smoking and drinking, have joined Varsity basketball and am attending all of my classes.”



When you are not sure where to go next…

“Tell me more…Tell me more…”

Evoking Change Talk


Foundation Skills:

O A R S

FOUR KEY STRATEGIES – OARS OPEN questions (to elicit client change talk)

AFFIRM the client appropriately (support, emphasize personal control)

REFLECT (try for complex reflections)

SUMMARIZE ambivalence, offer double-sided reflection

Open Questions

Open versus Closed Questions • CLOSED questions invite a “yes/no”,

one- word or very limited answer • OPEN questions encourage elaboration –

they evoke the client’s ideas, opinions, hopes, concerns, etc.

Affirmations

Affirmations: • Go beyond “giving a good grade” • Are not about the practitioner’s approval

of the client • Acknowledge the client’s experience,

struggle, expertise, efforts, etc.

Example of Praising:

You are such a wonderful group - I have really enjoyed our session.

Example of Affirming The group has worked hard today in exploring some tough issues, and we have come closer as a result of that.

Choose one of your most challenging patients – and come up with an affirmation that you could offer

Complex Reflection

They are really on your case about your cannabis use.

It wasn’t your idea to come, and you’re not sure this is going to be at all helpful to you.

“I’m only coming to see you because my parents and my boyfriend are all pressuring me about smoking pot.”

Simple Reflection

Complex Reflection


How you see it is, they are the ones who have a problem with it, and that is frustrating.

Complex Reflection


It would feel a lot better if they respected that what you do or not do is your choice and decision.

Practicing Reflective Listening

Individually, take a moment to write down an example of a simple and a complex reflection for the following statement (coming up – next slide).

Then compare what you wrote with others at your table. As a group, choose the best examples to share with the larger group.

Practicing Reflective Listening (1)

“How I live my life is no one else’s business, and certainly not yours!”

Simple Reflection:

___________________________________

___________________________________

Complex (Enhanced) Reflection:

___________________________________

___________________________________

“How I live my life is my own business and certainly not yours.”

Simple Reflection:

You are the only one to decide how to live your life.


You’re being told you have to make all these changes, and that doesn’t feel very respectful of your choice and autonomy.

“How I live my life is my own business and certainly not yours.”

Practicing Reflective Listening (2)

“I know you mean well, but I don’t need this medication any more.”

Simple Reflection:

___________________________________

___________________________________


___________________________________

___________________________________


Simple Reflection:

You see that I am concerned, but you are ready to stop taking the medication.


You feel like I am pushing for you to take this medication, and not really appreciating where you are at.


More Reflections • I am not going to call a crisis line. • I was too busy to do that homework

you gave me. • I am a perfectionist – I don’t stop until I

get something perfect. • How am I supposed to improve my self-

esteem? • I don’t have time to eat. • Anxiety motivates me.

Reflecting Panel

Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT)

1. Four volunteers: Counsellors

2. One volunteer: Client Something you are considering

changing/struggling with

3. One volunteer: Coach A sounding board for the “client”

Reflecting Panel Instructions

1. Client: Share a paragraph with the Reflecting Panel about your struggle/experience

2. Panel: Take turns offering a single reflection 3. Client: After ALL Panel members are done,

talk to your coach about which reflection resonates most for you and why

4. Client: Offer this feedback to the panel, and continue the paragraph

Summary Statements

Why use summary statements?

• To check your understanding of the person’s situation as a whole

• To reflect back key components of what the person has discussed

• To signal a transition to another topic or the end of the session/consultation

• To highlight change talk

Example of OARS (including Summary Statement)

“Angry Bob” http://www.youtube.com/user/teachproject#p/u/5/79YTuZUFRIc

Partner A: Something you are considering changing

Partner B:

• Start with an open question

• Follow up with two reflective statements

• Offer an affirmation

• End with a summary statement

The 5th Foundation Skill:

Providing Information in a Motivational Way

“Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.” (Erica Jong, in Miller & Rollnick 2013)

Agenda-Mapping

Agenda Mapping • A brief discussion with the client, where

he/she has the most decision-making freedom possible

• The client chooses what area toward better health they want to discuss

• No topic is off limits – success in one area can lead to success in another


• Start with understanding the patient’s perspectives and preferences

• Try not to ‘trap’ the person by suggesting a lifestyle change (or focusing too soon on change) once the person raises a lifestyle area

Tips for Agenda Mapping


• Consider providing the patient with a finite list of topics to choose from, and asking them if any of the areas they want to discuss are included in that list

• After the patient responds, feel free to mention topics that you want to talk about

Tips for Agenda Mapping


Strategies Include… • Asking for elaboration • Reflective listening • Emphasizing personal choice and

control • Asking permission before making

suggestions • Summary statements

Hands-on Practice • In groups of three, take three roles:

– Person “A” describe a change you are thinking of making in the next 6 months – 1 year

– Person “B” respond using motivational strategies – Person “C” observe and give feedback

Each “Real Play” will take 5 minutes. After each turn, rotate the roles so that everyone has a chance to practice and receive feedback. Please HOLD your feedback until everyone has had a chance to practice – you will have an opportunity to debrief as a small group at the end of this exercise
