Ambivalence is a common challenge when intending to make significant changes in life. It can stem from conditions such as low importance, where competing pros and cons create uncertainty, or low confidence in one's ability to effect change. Motivational interviewing offers a structured approach to help individuals navigate through these feelings by clarifying their reasons for change and identifying available resources. Addressing ambivalence first can ease the process of deciding to make impactful life changes.
Motivational interviewing is a communication approach that can help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence, a common barrier to making major life changes.
Before embarking on a significant change, it's crucial to consider the pros and cons as well as the real-world obstacles that may arise.
Clarifying reasons for change and identifying available resources can aid individuals in overcoming their feelings of ambivalence.
Ambivalence often arises from low importance of the change, where competing pros and cons do not feel sufficiently compelling or from low confidence in one's ability to change.
