The Spirit of MI: PACE Partnership Acceptance Compassion Evocation
The Four Processes: 1. Engage 2. Focus 3. Evoke 4. Plan
OARS Open Questions Affirmations Reflective Listening Strategic Summaries
Elicit Change Talk: DARN CAT Change talk is self- expressed language that argues for change: Desire Ability Reasons Need Commitment Activation (Willingness) Taking Steps
Resistance Methods 1. Ruler Method: 1-10, how much do you support X? Why not one number lower? 2. Acknowledge any truth in what they are saying, even if it is small. 3. Reflect: Show interest and understanding of their perspective and values. 4. Ask them to explain their view, revealing their own knowledge gaps. 5. Affirm the values underlying their resistance, which you share. 6. Amplified Reflection- encourages them to moderate their view. 7. Two-Handed Reflection- Reflect their objection and on the other hand evoke change talk. 8. Emphasize their autonomy- Of course, you can do as you wish, however, doing X will produce desired outcome Y. 9. Reframe- Look for a positive implication in the problem they ve raised. 10. Solicit their advice- Ask for their suggestions about the issue they raised. 11. Find the win/win- See if there s a way for both your opinion and theirs to coexist without judgment or conflict. 12. Colombo Method- Express your confusion: 1) Reflect their view, 2) the discrepant facts as you know them, 3) ask for their help resolving the confusion.
