Talking To Change: A Motivational Interviewing Podcast, hosted by Glenn Hinds and Sebastian Kaplan, is a series of conversations exploring Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its influence on supporting individuals and groups as they make positive health and lifestyle changes.
In this episode of Talking to Change, Glenn and Sebastian welcome Stephen R. Andrew, LCSW, LADC, CCS to discuss discord and how MI can be used to address it. He describes the distinction between client-centeredness and MI, how to be a “trauma whisperer” using “gentle guesses” and core needs, discord between the head and the heart, how to develop empathy and compassion, and how to create learning communities. Glenn and Stephen end the episode with a “real play” and debrief.
