In sharp contrast, the Motivational Phone Call Technique is a manualized 15 to 20 minute, 7-question script that uses strength-based questions to quickly build rapport between the therapist and client before the first session. Using this technique, parents and children will experience what is called a “soft start-up” and enter trauma treatment with higher show rates and greater readiness to change. Join Scott Sells, PhD, from the Family Trauma Institute, in this cutting-edge webinar as he teaches participants the techniques of “stick and move” and “closing statements” to enhance the MI telephone call.
In this webinar you will learn about:
• The MI Phone Call Technique to their clients through a manualized seven-question script.
• The differences between what is termed a soft start-up vs. a harsh start-up.
• Understand how and why traumatized parents and children who suffer symptoms of PTSD are especially vulnerable to burn out, mistrust, and defensiveness.
• Prochaska's Readiness of Change of Theory.
NOTE: At Dr. Sells request, attendees must use the telephone call-in number for audio. There will be no computer audio available.
