An Essential Therapy Tool

Why Learn Motivational Interviewing?

Motivational interviewing is an essential and evidence-based tool that all health professionals need to learn so that they can maximise appointment times and improve treatment outcomes. Motivational interviewing is applied in therapy sessions, brief interventions and is effective in short appointment times, busy wards, pharmacy settings and emergency departments. This therapy approach emphasises the importance of listening to the patient and hearing their reasons for change and working through the barriers to achieving their goals. This webinar aims to provide you with an understanding of motivational interviewing, how it can help you and review the core skills that you can practice in supervision and with your patients. You will learn:

  1. The principles of motivational interviewing
  2. OARS: Open ended questions, affirming statements, reflections and summaries
  3. Sustain talk
  4. Change talk

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a therapeutic technique used by therapists to address addiction and substance use disorders in clients by strengthening their motivation and commitment to a particular goal. Client sessions are called “interviews” and focuses on building patient autonomy. MI draws on other various therapeutic styles and theories, such as humanistic therapy, cognitive dissonance theory, therapeutic relationship building, and positive psychology, but does not focus on the underlying cause of an addiction.

Join Dr Kylie Bailey to learn how to switch from solving a client’s problems for them, to encouraging them to solve their own problems. Motivation is not necessarily a personality trait, it is a mindset that can be taught and encouraged. MI helps people overcome their fears or uncertainty, fostering their ambition to get sober and begin their journey to recovery.
