Motivational interviewing (MI) and Coaching are a direct, non-confrontational, client-centered strategy aimed at increasing a person’s motivation to change. In other words it’s a conversation for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. It is based on collaboration rather than confrontation, evocation rather than education, and autonomy instead of authority. It assumes that the person has the ability to change, has the answers within themselves, and emphasizes a person’s right to define their problems and choose their own solutions.
The purpose of MI/Coaching is to assist the person from ambivalence to making changes. Ambivalence is natural and normal to everyone who is contemplating change. It is defined as a conflict with desires, needs, reasons, and other motivations for changing behavior. It’s wanting and not wanting something at the same time.
