Working with clients who resist change is exhausting and time consuming…
…And you may be increasing client resistance without even knowing it.
You spend valuable session time chipping away at the resistance to change. Then in your “off” time, you spend time thinking about why they can’t change or where you might be missing the mark in your treatment approach and therapeutic relationship.
Motivational Interviewing is an effective evidence-based treatment and it’s not just for substance abuse.
Motivational Interviewing can provide you with the approach you need to ease your effort as a clinician and motivate clients to want to change.
In this 1-day seminar with Motivational Interviewing expert Angie Wood, you will walk away with:

In this one day seminar, Angela will share with you the most common reasons people resist change and the clinical tools to help you experience more ease as a clinician while the client experiences faster symptom relief and accomplished goals in therapy.
Packed with proven Motivational Interviewing techniques, visual tools, case studies and experiential exercises, you will be able to feel excited as you help the client becomes the initiator of their change (instead of you!)
