Here's how you can conquer challenges and obstacles during your internship in Motivational Interviewing.

In my current job, I’ve requested feedback from both co-workers and supervisors. By keeping it informal and only asking for one suggestion to improve the way I handled a difficult client situation from each person, I’m not burdening any of them and they know I’m asking everyone; that way they do not feel singled out or put on the spot.

One thing I have found helpful is being judgement free. Being mindful of my values while respecting others can go a long way towards establishing rapport.

Motivation interview skills require training and practice and internship period is the best time to utilize them.Overcoming challenges during internship can be tough because at that situation you don’t have enough knowledge and experiences but MI methods help you to stay positive and enhance your resilience and it can empower your ability to achieve effectively.As internship maybe you involve of low confidence and even self doubt and MI help to enhance your self confidence,and it push you towards own progress and help learning listening actively skill,in other words internship is opportunity and chance to build your skills and enhance your growth.

An example of this would be when you’re providing that listening space, and allowing the person to speak freely without fear, hesitation, or reservations. The opening may not happen immediately, but the ground work is underway.

Sometimes, an ear is all that is needed for someone to have a life altering experience, that makes all parties involved…better.

Sometimes feeling shame don’t let you to seek support and getting advice from supervisors, experts and others, but must remember that professionals insights and their ready experiences can be super precious practical knowledge and even can have useful effects on your future of career.

Analyzing own emotions and achievement can be the best teacher and important way to understand own biases and it helps to improve performance,and enhance being open minded, nobody can deeply understand your weaknesses and strengths.

Tackle internship hurdles with Motivational Interviewing by: - Setting Goals: Pin down your targets, e.g., "I aim to learn X skill." - Asking for Feedback: Get tips to improve, like, "What’s one area I can refine?" - Staying Positive: Embrace challenges as learning moments, saying, "This is a growth opportunity." - Taking Initiative: Propose ideas and solutions, like, "Here’s a way to streamline this."

Whenever I start with a new client, I spend the first ten minutes establishing rapport by finding some common ground. Asking them to share a favorite family tradition or holiday food helps to form a connection that will give me a glimpse into their personality, values and priorities. Reciprocating by sharing mine, I found it creates mutual respect; we can then work together to set goals and meet our objectives.
