Great job Alice and William! You used elements of MI that were quite evident and appeared to have a successful session that was helpful to the client and appeared non threatening or invasive. Excellent use of open ended questions ("what feelings different between the expectations at work and school"), as well as use o f reflection ("it sounds like...."). Both of you also did a wonderful job at incorporating empathy and affirmations into the session (ie: stating that sometimes it does seem difficult to get up so early).
ReplyDeleteWell done, the bar has been raised high =o)
I am in Florida and am having a dickens of a time trying to get internet. I now have a hot spot but the service has been intermittent and the providers say they are having trouble in "this part of the Florida." tried to watch this morning but I cannot load them, so I will watch the beginning of next week when I am home.
ReplyDeleteI have been unable to watch the videos, it keeps telling me Media Player encountered a problem. I will keep trying tonight before bed, I was hoping to get this done tonight, as I work 18 hours tomorrow.

Hi Christine -
DeleteI had the same problem when trying to watch the videos with internet explorer - try using a different platform like good chrome, it worked for me. Hope this helps!

Hi Alice and William,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your role play and thank you for going first. I saw/heard many important therapeutic elements in your conversations.
William- I felt your tone was very friendly, open and collaborative. I felt that you were validating and affirming when you mentioned it being difficult for a lot of people to get up early. I appreciated your joke about the time change.
Alice- I loved your question about the difference in expectations at school and at work. I felt that this was a very thought provoking question. I felt your head nods were also validating and showed understanding and empathy.
When looking at your role play and the information from the MI module I believe that your conversation highlighted several important elements essential to this approach. I think OARS can be even more present in your future responses and even more focus can be put on making change, however, this was a great first step!

Hi William and Alice, You both did a great job presenting MI. Thank you both for going first! Sorry there were so many tech issues. I liked being able to view your video at home. I was able to pause it to take helpful notes. You both had a not confrontational and supportive approach which will help clients to feel safe and open when discussing trouble parts of their lives. You both seemed to be validating without leading the clients. Thanks again for going first, It gave me some good ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your role play. Thank you for going first and working out the kinks, though I found it very helpful to be able to watch the video at my own pace and to be able to pause to jot down a note or two.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, I think that you did a great job validating and affirming. I also heard a lot of summarizing as well.
Alice, I think that you did a great job being very supportive and validating.
It was helpful to see the components of MI being used so directly and so successfully.
after viewing your role play I thought you both did a great job identifying the problem John was facing in terms of not wanting to get up for school, being late and his frustrations with his parents and all the expectations of him. I thought this was a great example of Mi because each of you found pieces of John which were positive and you helped him make connections between things he was doing well and that make him happy and things he was working on. In the case of John, we saw how he feels good when it came to his role as an employee at the burger restaurant. This was one piece which you both drew on in terms of motivating him and finding positive skills which he can work off of.
ReplyDeleteHi William and Alice,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your role play- and I especially liked the different segments. It almost had a feel of "follow up sessions" even though it was one session.
I thought you both did great with assisting the client to examine his beliefs and to challenge some of his thoughts (comparing expectations between Five Guys and school). You both did so well in your roles each time that the material was more easily absorbed. Great relationship building and excellent summarizing.
