Dear Stan, I have send this video to Greek psychologists. They are preparing themselves in Motivational Interviewing. I asked them to look at this video. Thank you for sharing! Joost Beets

[@drstansteindl]

Thanks you, Joost! Terri did a great job explaining the eight skills (as always) so I hope it helps!

[@johnnovo3692]

I completely agree with Terri's thoughts about compassion. And, when we do feel compassion, it makes the hard work more meaningful and rewarding. Thanks for the rich conversation.

[@drstansteindl]

Thank you, John! And yes, it is definitely an ‘and’ for me too. Love it!

I would add one don't. Don't be tooooo professional. I see that in some therapist - they adopt professional posture (usually due to anxiety) and client immediately get's anxious and closes down. I guess it boils down to being genuine. Thank you for a great interview

[@drstansteindl]

Yes, I think you are right. Terri might say that this is where genuineness comes in. Miller and Rollnick have also included genuineness in their most recent edition of the Motivational Interviewing book, so it seems very important to be genuine and not just try and play a role.
