Description:  Most clinicians are aware of the magnitude of the therapeutic relationship, yet issues often impede that fragile working alliance. This workshop will provide an intensive exploration of the relational elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI) that serve as the foundation of the approach, and our work with clients. We will focus on embodying the spirit of MI, including compassion, acceptance, collaboration, and evocation. We will explore the elements of acceptance and the principles of MI as well. Come join Marty Weems to learn and practice ways to use the relationship itself to learn, support change, and honor client autonomy. This includes shifting our primary focus from outcomes to the interpersonal process itself as a therapeutic intervention. Bring in your relevant cases!
