Unlocking Change: The Power of Motivational Interviewing with Michael Hunter
“Motivational interviewing is almost like a process in which it's two people who are engaging to draw out a host of myriad of different outcomes.”
Ever wondered how to truly help someone make a lasting change? In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, host Clint Mally sits down with Michael Hunter to unpack the art of motivational interviewing. Michael, a seasoned expert, believes that everyone has the innate ability to find their own meaningful path to change. But how do you guide someone to discover that path? That's where motivational interviewing comes in.
It's not about telling someone what to do; it's about sparking their own 'change talk'—those moments when they express a desire or intention to improve their lives. Clint and Michael dive into the nuts and bolts of this empathetic and strategic conversation style. They cover practical tips on how to start a motivational interview, how to develop discrepancy, and why it's crucial to honor a person's autonomy.
You'll also learn how motivational interviewing differs from cognitive behavioral therapy and why it's such a powerful tool in both addiction recovery and mental health treatment. Whether you're supporting a loved one through recovery or seeking ways to foster positive change in your own life, this episode offers invaluable insights. So, grab your headphones and get ready to explore how you can empower change through the art of motivational interviewing.
