TAKE THE QUIZ:
In this session, Dr Nina Josefowitz introduces key strategies to enhance client motivation for engaging in mood-boosting activities. She builds on the foundations of previous sessions, focusing on additional techniques like motivational interviewing, decisional balance, and the Premack principle. Motivational interviewing uses open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarising to explore client hesitations and foster positive change. Decisional balance involves collaboratively evaluating the short-term and long-term pros and cons of an activity to align it with the client’s values and goals. Lastly, the Premack principle pairs desired activities with mood-boosting tasks to build motivation. These strategies provide therapists with practical tools to support clients in overcoming inertia and fostering meaningful change.
