Motivational Interviewing Spirit: Compassion

Just what is the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing?

The new MI book shares, “MI involves not only particular skills, but also an underlying attitude, a particular state of mind and heart with which you engage in a helping relationship” (p.6)

The spirit of MI is the attitude we bring to the work with our clients. It’s about our heartset and mindset as providers.

When we look at how motivational interviewing works, it all begins with the spirit. The four components of the spirit of motivational interviewing: compassion, acceptance, partnership & empowerment.

And here’s what we know, from research and from experience: the attitude, heartset and mindset of the provider (YOU) impacts client outcomes. It impacts the feel of the session, the experience your client has with you, & the progress a client can make.

The new MI book defines the spirit element of compassion as “an intention to give top priority to the health and well-being of the one you are serving.” Compassion in MI means our intent is to alleviate suffering and support positive growth. Listen for more!
