Your client is feeling discouraged after setbacks. How can you motivate them to keep moving forward?
When facing setbacks, it's natural for your client to feel discouraged. Yet, as a professional skilled in Motivational Interviewing (MI), you have the tools to guide them through this rough patch. MI is a client-centered counseling style that enhances motivation to change by helping clients explore and resolve ambivalence. It is particularly useful when a client feels stuck or demotivated, as it focuses on eliciting their own motivations for change. This approach can be empowering and reinvigorating, especially after experiencing setbacks. Remember, your role is to support your client in rediscovering their drive and determination to move forward.
