Description

Too often sessions seem like tug of war. Back and forth between the reasons to change…and the reasons not to. It’s easy to start feeling stuck or like you need to “win.” But the harder you push or pull, the greater the discord/resistance. You need a better way to communicate with ambivalent clients. Motivational Interviewing is that way. In this session MI expert Melinda Marasch, LCSW, will show you how the evidence-based MI process works and ways you can apply it to make those tough conversations more productive, end the tug of war, and maximize opportunities for lasting change from within.
