It supports individuals who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges by offering structured strategies to manage reactions and improve communication.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find personal motivation for change, often used when clients are considering changes related to substance use or other behaviors.
