Motivational Interviewing


THURSDAY I did the 21 Day Fix lower body workout.

FRIDAY I did Pilates. The first book to begin studying for the Wellness Coach Certification exam arrived. Since it was supposed to be a nice weekend I planned to read it outside.

SATURDAY I did Dirty 30 in the morning and read the first chapter of Motivational Interviewing in the afternoon.  The study guide doesn't have us reading everything for some reason.

  • Chapters I'll be Reading & Studying
    1. Conversations About Change
    2. The Spirit of Motivational Interviewing
    3. The Method of Motivational Interviewing
    4. Engagement and Disengagement
    6. Core Interviewing Skills
    7. Exploring Values and Goals
    8. Why Focus?
    10. When Goals Differ
    11. Exchanging Information
    12. Ambivalence
    13. Evoking the Person's Own Motivation
    14. Responding to Change Talk
    15. Responding to Sustain Talk and Discord
    16. Evoking Hope and Confidence
    18. Developing Discrepancy
    20. Developing a Change Plan
    23. Experiencing Motivational Interviewing
    25. Applying Motivational Interviewing
SUNDAY I read the next two chapters. There was A Motivational Interviewing Prayer one of the authors wrote to prepare himself before seeing clients. I wonder if it's already in poster form somewhere or if I should have it done. I'd like to have this on my wall.

    Unfortunately, I didn't have time for yoga today, but I'm glad I incorporated to my regular workout routine too.
    Have an awesome week!

  10. It seems there is a lot of great information for you to absorb in that first book! I wonder why the study guide doesn't have you reading all the chapters? Or maybe you will later? Good luck with your studying! Thanks for linking with us Cassi!

  12. That sounds like a really interesting book! (I'm mystified as to why it doesn't go through all of it though.) I got asked about motivational interviewing at one of my interviews last year, hehehe.
