“How can clinicians use Motivational Interviewing to target patient goals and counteract resistance?”
- You can cause harm with poor clinical outcome by YOU instead of the Patient arguing for change
- Worst Case = provider trying to fix, prescribe, scold, and tell (when patients isn’t ready)
- Telling people to do something = strong correlation with causing harm
- There is a time and place for education/advice, though most of time haven’t primed patient to be receptive to it
- If you haven’t primed = wasted time
- There is a time and place for education/advice, though most of time haven’t primed patient to be receptive to it
- Providers have less burn out, less cynicism, and enjoy their job more
