Up One Notch (Level II)

This advanced skills training helps stretch every MI muscle in your repertoire!

Motivational Interviewing Advanced Skills

This 21-hour Level III workshop leaves those with a previous background in this approach feeling like they have stretched every M.I. muscle in their repertoire! We begin with a brief overview of the spirit and intent of Motivational Interviewing, and a review of the concepts of “stages of change” and how MI works with change as a “process” and not as an “event”. Then, a menu of options is provided from which participants can choose up to 8 “workout sessions” (approximately 1 hour each) to enhance various interviewing competencies.

Workshop Includes:

ractice sessions (in pairs or triads) with supervision and feedback for advanced skill in

  • Strategic design and use of complex reflections
  • Becoming more time-efficient with engaging work
  • Skills that soften sustain talk
  • omposing affirmations to spotlight change talk
  • Self-regulation strategies to prevent helper persuasion behaviour and the “righting reflex
  • Evocation skills to cultivate change talk
  • Methods for deepening partnership
  • Review and skills analysis of video-taped MI interviews
  • “Fish bowl” demonstrations by the instructor
  • “Prescribed” mistake-making sessions
  • Preparation for real-life applications when you get yourself into a “trap”
  • Case conferences of actual client scenarios where counsellors or clients feel “stuck” (confidentiality guidelines provided prior to course)

There’s lots of room for fun, experimentation, and wild mistake-making in this jam-packed three days! MI Aerobics is a safe place to learn why counselling is called a “practice” and not a “perfect”!
