Intervention- Not Just for Families!
One way to employ leverage is in combination with the power of consensus: A “mini-intervention.” Involving the therapeutic team adds strength to the message and can speed the accomplishment of important goals.

Thank you for this series. I particularly enjoyed Part 5 on “Maintaining Motivation.” So often my clients aren’t sure what motivates them. Most of us (me included) programmed motivation through fear. I would wait for the fear to kick in before I got moving. It took me a long while to learn that motivation will evolve from a genuine desire. I like how you described the process “for external motivation to become internal.” This is where I see the lights go on every time. BTW: I have committed to getting to know your site better, so I’ll be hanging around this year. It has already proven a useful resource. Thank you. Lisa
Thanx, Lisa, glad you liked it. Treating coerced clients really is a different world from the self-referred.
