RESPONSIVE MOMENTS

I'll tell you which MI process you're in, what's working, and what to reach for next

I'll show you where to use Open questions, Affirmations, Reflections, and Summaries based on what the client just said

I'll model simple, complex, and double-sided reflections on the client's words — then you try one

I'll walk through the conversation and show you every piece of change talk and sustain talk — what you caught, what you missed, and how to respond

I'll trace what triggered the client's pushback and show you how to come alongside them instead of pushing through

I'll coach you on how to introduce gambling into this AOD conversation — bridges, permission-based openers, and what to do when they deflect

I'll show you how to use this client's PGSI responses as conversation doorways — what to explore, how to build discrepancy, when to suggest strategies

I'll review your conversation and give you honest MI feedback — what you did well, stretch opportunities, change talk analysis, and what to reach for next

Quick coaching nudge — I'll tell you one thing to try right now based on what just happened
