Motivational Interviewing
Expressing empathy and active listening is a critical component of motivational interviewing. It involves carefully listening to the patient and understanding the patient's feelings, beliefs, and experiences. In the context of motivational interviewing, I have learned the crucial role of reinforcing the patient's belief in their ability to change. By highlighting the patient's skills, strengths, or past successes, I empower them to believe in their potential for change. My role is not to impose my viewpoint on the patient but to guide them in considering multiple perspectives and providing direction and guidance.
