Motivation Interviewing with Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: Session 1 of 3

[@mnhooks]

I cannot express how thrilled I am to find these videos! I am a program manager for a domestic violence advocacy center and it is so hard to find real-life examples of an advocate in action... not a therapist, or attorney, or police officer, etc. These are now my go-to for training new staff. Thank you!!!

Well done, this counsellor is just knocking it right off the park. So elegant how she used it.

Thank you SO much for sharing this in public. Great to see a demonstration of MI when one is not able to attend any training and still needs to assist vulnerable women on their journey through this challenge. I often feel inadequate and overwhelmed by the magnitude of their experiences. Just watching you validating her feelings and thoughts and see how she becomes more confident and feels empowered to take the next step, makes me feel that I might be able to assist them more appropriately in future. Thank you for this demonstration.

You are probably expressing the view of the perpetrator...

It is so great to finally have a public video example for working with DV survivors. Thank you for sharing!

[@hannahlynnM]

That was excellent! Way to go ladies! I'm learning so much!

[@davidmetting5138]

Well done! Helpful to see. Being new to MI, I hand't considered how it might be applicable to this context.

Valuable interactions. I do wonder if the clinician should have intervened more when the issue of violence arose. Pushing someone to the ground is a significant escalation of conflict. I think the single Mom could have been asked if she she is alright, if she feels safe.She might be told that an incident such as this is not her fault. It needs to be said that under no circumstances is that a valid response to any issue. Help her to establish the boundaries in her mind so she can articulate them to the partner.

[@terebertuccivoicemusic9821]

I think what you are saying is really valuable, when there is more certainty on the part of the service user. What I see is that the clinician was trying to help her understand and gain awareness around her situation being really careful to not push, because she is clearly in a stage where she still sees her partner as good, and going directly to telling her her opinion or giving advice could result in her pushing back or not coming back, which in the long run would be less safe for the client. I'm not an expert though but with the little experience I have this is my interpretation :)

very good illustration ; Thanks for sharing

Good validating, paraphrasing and reflecting, however she left the person "unzipped", so intro with reassurance you are safe here and I am advocating for you, this is doable then conclude with encouraging and empowering words, story or even metaphors.

[@lindseywalker273]

What does that mean, to be unzipped?

[@therapisttalks-p9s]

Good session a little too much paraphrasing but raised some good points. Thank You

[@frankstared]

Paraphrasing is critical for establishing trust.

[@walkenfan]

Also rather than paraphrasing, in MI terminology it's referred to as reflecting. Its aim is to convey understanding, validation, and acceptance.

[@JCResDoc94]

invest in a boom or 2 lav mics. & change the backdrop to a green sheet, so then you can chroma-key "MI in DV cases...in Paris...MI in DV cases...in Rome...on the moon". This effects everyone.

More detail needed.

HOW ABOUT THOSE AROUND THIS GOOFBALL COUPLE THAT HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEIR CRAP. I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR EITHER. THEY ARE BOTH TO BLAME.

[@ralphford4092]

I mean if you have a boyfriend or husband, you need to logically realize its not appropriate for you as a woman to be alone with another man period. I would say the same for your boyfriend with another woman. Avoid it whenever possible. I am not excusing his behavior at all but I do wish people would use more common sense...

[@ljfm1683]

nope. that kind of thinking is controlling and emotionally abusive.

[@ralphford4092]

@@ljfm1683 hahaha ok...you need to realize what abuse actually is...there is such a thing called respect within a relationship. Do not put yourself in positions where there will ever be a question of your loyalty and not being alone with the opposite sex is something pretty simple...its not something they should have to ask you to do...you should already be doing it...but good luck on maintaining a relationship with someone who is always questioning if ur cheating because you allow the thoughts to be there

[@taylorbastian9670]

@@ralphford4092 Good job at blaming the victim. Two adults of the opposite sex can be in a room together and not have issues. The abuser wanted control of the situation because he was not the focus. That is not on her to control his reactions. That is on him. He is a grown man. He should take care of himself.

[@ralphford4092]

@@taylorbastian9670 I am not blaming the victim. I am saying its not appropriate, period either sex. Get off your me too overly politically correct high horse.

@@ralphford4092 She's not responsible for his thoughts. He is. And there is such a thing as a conversation when there is a difference of opinion between two intimate partners.
