463 Words2 Pages

My mock motivational interview was done by myself as the therapist and Ph.D. student. Rachel, as my mock client. In the mock interview, Rachel was newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was having trouble with changing her eating habits. She is an active young adult who enjoys having drinks and going out to eat with friends and family. She try’s to eat healthily but is not ready to just stop eating her favorite foods cold turkey. The theory that I used was motivational interviewing to try and motivate Rachel to try to eat healthily and exercise because her life depends on it.
I started off the session by asking Rachel what brings her into therapy. I then asked Rachel for permission to talk about her diagnosis. The interventions I used were reflective listening, the use a scale to determine how confident she was in her willingness to change and goal setting. I also used open-ended questions and summarized our session at the end to gain clarification and to wrap things up with the client.After talking about the consequences of not eating healthy and exercising and talking about how her diagnosis can turn into Diabetes Type 1, I believe that encouraged Rachel more. …show more content…

I felt like Rachel felt comfortable discussing her problems with me but I could have done a better job at getting to know her a little more. The strengths that I felt I showed during this session was showing empathy about her not being able to just up and change her lifestyle overnight., especially since she is still young and living life. Another strength I showed was understanding and non judgemental when she talked about her family not wanting to go to the restaurants she chooses that have a better healthy selection for her to pick

    Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29).

    Doing a therapeutic conversation process recording takes a lot of thought process because it is a lot more in-depth then a causal conversation. During the recording I found that quite a bit of silencing and personal thinking was made it made it very apparent that only therapeutic conversation was the only thing that was being conveyed throughout the conversation. During the conversation I was able to bite my tongue and not give my advice on this particular situation and by me not giving my advice it allowed the client to be able to have her own thought process in the matter versus me giving her the thought. During this whole process I noticed that asking a question that just reflected on what the client just said allowed them to open up more

For these reason, Narrative Therapy can be challenging especially if Marion will not be a good talker or not articulate. There are so many factors, but the only way the therapist can work well with Marion is to make her feel with an amazing self-confidence coupled with intellectual capacity and other narratives will be expressed properly. The therapist can also program some agenda for Marion to support a framework to her narrative to make her tell her stories easier. But the most important aspect of Narrative Therapy is to empower the client (Flaskas, 1999).

While allowing me to practice clinical interviewing skills, I learned how difficult yet essential various skills were in order to successfully complete an intake process.

His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for
