MI at its core is on some level Rogerian in nature: person centered therapy. If done well you meet the person where they are in the insituation they are in. You don't have maintenance stage of change for someone who is in the pre-contemplative stage. Hear there concerns and doubts, validate them, and affirm them to build that therapeutic trust. As they are ready to progress so to meet them there. Asking good, non judgemental open ended questions is key.

Breaking through with tough clients using Motivational Interviewing (MI) is all about guiding, not pushing. I start by asking open-ended questions to understand their motivations and challenges. Reflective listening is key—I repeat back what they’ve said, allowing them to hear their own thoughts. This often clarifies their perspective. I also emphasize their autonomy, reminding them the final decision is theirs. By reinforcing their strengths and highlighting past successes, I help build confidence in making positive changes. Through this collaborative, non-judgmental approach, MI fosters trust and turns resistance into a shared journey of progress.
