When people become disillusioned with the traditional weight paradigm and come to weight-inclusive care providers to explore alternatives to diet culture, they show up with a lot of ambivalence. The conversations between helping professionals and their clients are powerful ones, capable of supporting or inhibiting the innate change process that is alive in all of us. Relying heavily on the sharing of research, information and advice to “convince and persuade” people to choose Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size®, or Body Trust® does little to help people change. Motivational Interviewing is a person-centered, guiding method of communication and counseling to elicit and strengthen intrinsic motivation for change. This five-week online program will build on concepts over time and offers:
♦ A common-sense approach for supporting people in making meaningful, lasting changes in their lives
♦ Lively discussions to deepen understanding of the paradox of change and the spirit of Motivational Interviewing
♦ Practice activities for skill building using breakout rooms
♦ A combination of principles, skills, and strategies to help strengthen people’s commitment to change and increase the likelihood of change.

TESTIMONIALS

"This training taught me to drop my agenda, and really get curious about my clients, and their stories. I'm listening with all my senses now, and with more presence than ever before. It has changed the way I approach conversations with everyone in my life. I'm so grateful for the chance to learn from Dana in this work." ~CS

"We were so excited to have Dana back for MI training again! I have told people repeatedly over the years that Dana's trainings with us were the most valuable con ed I have ever done. It has not only helped my patients stay through plan of care, see value in PT and their own efforts, but it has improved my provider experience and decreased my sensations of burnout by ensuring the patient takes ownership in care. I’m so grateful for the great work and the help Dana has provided me over the years!" ~JD
