The process of “evoking” in MI can have a strong influence on ambivalence. Ambivalence in MI includes a mixture of “change talk” and “sustain talk.” Using the Addictions Case Study: Narrative on Marci, discuss with your classmates:
- Give an example of Marci’s “change talk.”
- Give an example of Marci’s “sustain talk.”
- Where is her ambivalence coming from? Why do you think it is there?
- Write one sentence for each letter of OARS that you could use with her.
- How could you use MI’s process of “evoking" to help her resolve any ambivalence and encourage her in a direction of change?
- Try to find two Scriptural references that could apply to the process of evoking, and how you would seek to use them in working with Marci.
