Synopsis

It's said that the only constant in life is change. It should be said that obstacles to change are another constant, and they're too often standing between you and a life spent thriving. Whether you're trying to better manage your money, exercise more, or stop addictive behaviors, making positive life changes can be a huge challenge. So, how do you prepare yourself for this journey toward healthy, positive change?

The Motivational Interviewing Path to Personal Change combines forty years of research-proven strategies along with skills from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you get started on the path to positive change. Using motivational interviewing (MI) tools, you'll identify specific behavioral targets you would like to work on. You'll also learn to connect with your intrinsic motivation to figure out the "Why?" of your journey, so you can commit to positive behavior changes consistent with your values. Finally, you'll use your newfound skills to maximize your goals, overcome obstacles, and gain a healthier perspective on life.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-reflection, determination, and improvement, let this guide show you the way to making real, sustainable changes. Go ahead, take the first step!
