The Art of Ambivalence in Motivational Interviewing

As providers, we aren’t often skilled in working with the art of ambivalence. Many of our programs and systems and interventions are designed to work with people who are in the preparation and action stages of change. But folks wrestling with ambivalence are still in the contemplation stage of change…

And working with those who are contemplative about change- still stuck exploring ambivalence- is an art.

Motivational Interviewing offers us effective tools for working with ambivalence! We learn to normalize ambivalence, and gently explore our clients' motivations for change. We explore their values and importance of change, giving more attention and focus to when and how they want to work their way toward change. Listen for more!
