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, Glenn and Sebastian talk to Tipene Pickett, a Māori MI provider whose focus is on the relationship between MI and indigenous knowledge and wisdom. Tipene talks about his introduction to MI; the experience of confrontation and learning what’s more helpful; discovering what’s within you and who you are; engagement, self-disclosure, and narratives of origin; confidence rulers; and how language can change our physiology.
