When a client is not yet ready to change, instead of getting stuck in what we can’t do, consider what you can! First, check your attitude toward the client and see how you can increase your compassion and acceptance. Next, consider acknowledging their autonomy and exploring what they are willing to talk about. Finally, if your client is up for it, explore what the benefits of making that change might be if they decided to embark on that journey.
I describe much more in this video. Plus, I've made a handout for you!

I love this video and your words of wisdom. My problem is I sometimes deal with clients (adolescents) who are kind of on a timeline--either change or go to jail! As a recovering addict myself, it took a sufficient amount of pain and a sufficient amount of hope to get me to change. Pain = the unacceptable consequences of continued drug use (prison). Hope = life will be better when I am clean and sober, and I know I can do it. But, I meet these kids who are forced into treatment and who don't want to change. Many are in group homes, and they face pain and misery on a daily basis, so substance abuse is their escape. And, the consequences of their substance use/abuse hasn't been as severe...yet. I find myself going in circles with them using MI and even a little CBT, and I wind up "preaching" to them which does not work because they already get a ton of that. What keeps me grounded is my recognition that I am a helper, not a fixer. If I wanted to be a fixer, I should have become a mechanic!
