There are two particular areas of focus: ‘Complex Reflections’ and ‘Change Talk’. A person who talks about the benefits of change is more likely to make that change, whereas a person who argues and defends the status quo is more likely to continue his or her problematic behaviour (Miller & Rollnick, 2013).

Motivational Interviewing (M.I.) is a conversation about change. It is a way to help someone, who is caught between different options, to move forward through reflective listening and empathy. Clinically, M.I. is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change.
