Dr. Jaseu Han sheds some light on Motivational Interviewing Psych Talk for Primary Care Providers

MI is a person-centered approach that originated in the world of substance use, but it has a much wider range of applications. Rather than the physician trying to change the patient, with motivation interviewing the patient is the one who decides whether or not to make a change. This approach can help reduce the burnout that can occur during a change process. Motivation interviewing is a great way to support patients in making a change and provides a safe and supportive environment.
