Motivational Interviewing

Alan Lyme

“Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal oriented style of communication with particular attention to the

language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and

exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.”

Motivational Interviewing: Helping people change. William Miller and Stephen Rollnick – 3rd Ed, 2013

Motivational Interviewing: A compassionate conversation

Motivational Interviewing has been through many stages over the past 25 years. The goal of this six hour training will be to

introduce the most current information on MI that supports its efficacy as an evidenced based practice. Grounded in the

underlying spirit of MI, the four process model introduced in 2013 will be reviewed and its utility explored. Participants

will be encouraged to actively engage with the material and complete various exercises designed to strengthen awareness

and hone skills.

Participants will be given the opportunity to learn the basic skill-set needed for MI, the underlying spirit and core building blocks, and how it may be utilized

in a variety of settings. A brief introduction to coding and supervisory tips for enhancing proficiency will also be included.

1. Describe the four processes utilized in Motivational Interviewing

2. Illustrate the four foci of the MI spirit

3. Explain the contrast of resistance and discord

4. Demonstrate the ability to use MI as a supervisory tool

March 15, 2019



Marijuana is being legalized in many states either for medical purposes or

recreational use. Because of recent trends toward legalization, many people

believe this substance is harmless and increasingly more socially accepta-

ble. Greater access to marijuana leads to increases in use and in potential

risks such as impairment problem, cannabis use disorder, and addiction.

Do we resort to scare tactics or look to research to help guide our interven-

tions? Does marijuana cause memory loss and learning problems? What

about psychosis? Does marijuana cause impairment of safe driving skills?

Is marijuana addictive?

This session will provide a close look at an evidenced based approach that

uses motivational delivery style along with research supported concepts that

allow for individual to make informed choices about substance use.

Evidence Based Practices for Co-Occurring Disorders:

The Expectations in Clinical Work

Joanna Linn, PhD., LPCS, LCAS, CCS

learning methods will be emphasized throughout this training to address an array of co-occurring mental health

and substance abuse needs in an integrated treatment approach. Some of the topics will include: identifying the

complex needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders in substance abuse treatment systems and examining the

ways to utilize evidence-based interventions and treatment applications for co-occurring disorders.

Addressing Shame and Addiction in the

Pursuit of Wellness

Mark Pimsler, LAPC, NCC, MAC, CCS

As a universal experience shame can be looked at as a gatekeeper to wellness. Shame has the power to color the filters through

which we experience the world. This is not only true of our clients but is also true for us as helping professionals. Participants will look at

the developmental process of shame and how the powerful experience of shame impacts active addiction, treatment, as well as

active recovery. Shame can be one of the largest obstacles to recovery and yet we haven’t had many tools for addressing it. In this

workshop participants will gain a better understanding of how to frame shame as well as address it. Participants will review current

research surrounding shame and shame resilience. Participants will receive experiential group and individual ideas to address shame in clients in the context of sub-

stance use disorder treatment.

Participants will be able to have a deeper understanding of both shame and guilt from a neurocounseling perspective. Participants will be able to know how to provide

education/treatment around shame and addiction. Participants will gain tools in addressing shame in the context of substance use disorder

vices.
