“Whether in the context of a brief intervention or in an ongoing counseling relationship, when patients talk about their intrinsic motivation, they are more likely to make that change. Motivational Interviewing encourages “change talk,” language a client or patient uses that favors change. Recognizing, responding to, and eliciting change talk are three crucial skills practitioners must develop and apply to support clients or patients.”
