Motivational Interviewing (MI) is particularly valuable for parapsychology when ambivalence about change is blocking recovery.
Ambivalence in Parapsychology
People with parapsychology are often ambivalent about change — part wants relief, part fears the unknown of being without familiar parapsychology patterns. This is normal, not resistance.
How MI Addresses Parapsychology Ambivalence
MI uses specific techniques to help people explore and resolve their ambivalence about parapsychology treatment:
- Reflective listening: Hearing and naming both sides of parapsychology ambivalence
- Decisional balance: Exploring pros and cons of changing vs. staying the same with parapsychology
- Evoking change talk: Drawing out the person's own reasons for addressing parapsychology
- Affirming strengths: Highlighting past capacities relevant to parapsychology recovery
MI in Parapsychology Treatment Settings
MI is integrated into many parapsychology treatment approaches as an engagement tool. It's particularly useful at the beginning of treatment and when motivation fluctuates.
