Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Stephen R. Andrew LCSW, LADC, CCS to the podcast to discuss discord and many other topics. Stephen is a storyteller, trainer, therapist, author and the  CEO (Chief Energizing Officer) of Health Education & Training Institute. (www.hetimaine.org). He maintains a compassion-focused private practice in Portland, Maine USA where he also facilitates a variety of men’s, women’s, co-ed, and caregiver groups. Stephen has had significant experience working with people suffering with addiction, mental illness and training staff within the Department of Mental Health.

He is the co-founder of  Agape, Inc. which supports the Men’s Resource Center of Southern Maine whose mission is to support boys, men and fathers and oppose violence and Dignity for People Using Opiates, a radical movement to change the conditions precipitating the opiate epidemic in our communities.  

Stephen has been a member of the International Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) since 2003 and became a Certified MINT Trainer in 2019. He has been a MIA-STEP trainer (Motivational Interviewing Assessment; Supervisor Training Program) for the New England ATTC since 2007. Stephen provides coaching and training domestically and internationally (Singapore, Iceland, China, Canada, Holland, Sweden, Poland, Turkey & UK) for social service agencies, health-care providers, substance abuse counselors, recovery coach specialists, criminal justice, vocational rehabilitation, and other groups on motivational interviewing, addiction, co-occurring disorders, counseling theory, “challenging” adolescents, supervision and ethics for care professionals, men’s work and the power of group work, as well as supervising a coding/coaching laboratory and simulation lab and training for Motivational Interviewing.  

Stephen is the proud father of Sebastian, and co-author of  Game Plan: A Man’s Guide to Achieving Emotional Fitness.

Stephen Andrew explores discord in Motivational Interviewing and what it can tell us about the working relationship. Rather than viewing resistance as a characteristic of the person, MI invites practitioners to notice how the interaction itself may be contributing to tension, defensiveness or disengagement.

The conversation considers compassion, relationship repair and how practitioners can respond when they feel pulled towards argument, persuasion or correction. These themes connect with Discord in Motivational Interviewing, Partnership and the Fixing Reflex.

MI in Peer Support Recovery Services 

We are happy to have had John Burns on to discuss MI in peer support recovery services. John is a person in long term recovery and a family member of a loved one who has struggled with substance use. He is the director of SOS Recovery Community Organization with recovery community centers in Rochester, Dover and Hampton, NH.  John founded Families Hoping and Coping in 2014, a peer-based family support group for family members and loved ones of those struggling with substance use disorder.  Families Hoping and Coping has chapters that meet weekly in Dover and Portsmouth, NH.  He prides himself most on being an outspoken advocate for people who use drugs, building recovery-oriented systems of care, and promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice for those marginalized who often are left without a voice and oppressed due to inhumane global, national and local drug policy.

John is a board member for the NH Harm Reduction Coalition.  He also serves on the NH Drug Overdose Fatality Review Commission and on the executive committee for the Strafford County, New Hampshire Public Health Advisory Committee.  

John became a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers in 2021 and is involved in offering basic and advanced Motivational Interviewing workshops within the peer-recovery support service field several times a year.  He also has completed Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment (MICA) training and provides coding and coaching services to his staff and recovery support providers across New England in an effort to expand motivational interviewing competency in the peer-assisted recovery service field.

John earned his MBA from Southern NH University and is credentialed as a Certified Recovery Support Worker (CRSW) in NH.  John has helped grow SOS from a $5000 all-volunteer effort in Sept 2016 into a robust program with 20 full-time employees and four recovery community centers.  All of SOS recovery centers recently became registered as syringe service providers in New Hampshire and provide safer injection supplies, safer smoking and safer sex supplies as well as naloxone and overdose prevention programs.  John and SOS have led numerous initiatives including a state-wide criminal justice recovery program and a national collaboration in digital recovery meetings offered 8 times a day, 7 days a week along with family support meetings nightly.

John has been involved in development of several curriculums with SOS including the Art & Science of Peer Assisted Recovery, Ethical Considerations for Peer-Assisted Recovery, Suicide Prevention for Peer-Assisted Recovery, HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis Prevention for Peer Assisted Recovery and more.  He has trained and developed curriculums for over 5 years now and speaks regularly to large audiences across the Northeast.

John Burns explores how Motivational Interviewing fits within peer recovery support, where lived experience, mutuality and respect for autonomy can be central to the helping relationship. He discusses long-term recovery, family support, harm reduction and advocacy for people who use drugs.

The conversation considers how MI can strengthen peer support without turning peers into directive experts, alongside the importance of diversity, inclusion and justice in recovery-oriented systems of care. These themes connect with Partnership, Empowerment and Acceptance in Motivational Interviewing.

Motivational Interviewing for Working with Children & Families

In this episode exploring Motivational Interviewing in Work with Children & Families, Glenn and Sebastian meet Donald Forrester, Professor of Child and Family Social Work and Director of the CASCADE Centre for Children’s Social Care at Cardiff University in the UK. He has been researching and teaching about Motivational Interviewing in Work with Children & Families, and in particular the complicated nature of child protection conversations, for 20 years. Recently, with long term colleagues David Wilkins and Charlotte Whittaker, he published MI for Working with Children and Families, in which they tried to bring together their learning from this work and make suggestions about using MI in very difficult conversations.

Donald Forrester explores the use of Motivational Interviewing in child and family social work, including the difficult conversations that arise when practitioners must balance collaboration with responsibilities for a child’s safety. He considers what good social work looks like and how MI can support respectful, purposeful conversations with parents and children.

The episode examines MI spirit, vulnerability, supervision, selective use of MI and practitioner development, with a role play exploring an allegation of child abuse. These themes connect with the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing, Partnership and Acceptance.

MI in Primary Care – Part 2

Glenn and Seb welcomed Mats Hogmark to discuss MI in Primary Care. Mats is a 47 year old Swedish physician who specializes in family medicine. He works in a small primary health care center in the countryside close to the city of Falun.

Mats has been an MI practitioner since 2006 and a trainer since 2007 and became a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) in 2012. As part of the Program Planning Committee he worked on the organising team for the MINT Forums in Montreal, Dublin and New Orleans 2016-2018. Mats also leads trainings for resident doctors in person-centered communication skills.

Mats Hogmark explores how Motivational Interviewing can strengthen conversations between doctors and patients in primary care. He describes the physician as an assistant rather than the person who must direct every decision, and considers how reflective listening can help practitioners come alongside patients while attending to both physical and emotional needs.

The conversation also explores whether MI can save time, the patient and doctor’s mutual roles, ideas, concerns and expectations, and compassion in healthcare. These themes connect with Reflective Listening, Partnership and Motivational Interviewing in Healthcare.

Episode 51 – Lessons from the lab: The dynamics of change talk and technological advances in 

We were pleased to welcome April Carcone to discuss her research on the dynamics of change talk and technological advances in MI. April is a member of the Behavioral Sciences Division of the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, USA. April is a social worker by training with over 18 year experience in developing and testing behavioral health interventions. She has studied Motivational Interviewing (MI) for more than a decade. Her research has examined how counselors and health care providers facilitate behavior change through the evocation of change talk. This has included collaborative work with computer scientists to automate the communication coding process using machine-learning models. April’s work to understand how MI facilitates change has informed her current research to develop and test eHealth behavioral interventions to improve health outcomes among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes.

April Carcone explores what research can tell us about the dynamics of change talk and the practitioner behaviours that help evoke and strengthen it. Her work examines what practitioners ask about, what they choose to reflect and how autonomy-supportive responses can influence conversations about change.

The episode also explores technological advances in MI research, including machine learning approaches to communication coding and eHealth interventions. These themes connect with Change Talk in Motivational Interviewing, Reflective Listening and Empowerment.

Explore the research and practice implications from April Carcone’s conversation in greater depth, including strategic questions, reflections of change talk, autonomy support, research precision and opportunities for deliberate practice.

MI for Survivors of Violence

Glenn and Sebastian were joined by Dr. Kate Watson to discuss the application of MI when working with survivors of violence. Dr. Watson is a public speaker, author, and podcaster.  As the founder of The Advocacy Academy, Dr. Watson is on a mission to build a skilled workforce of advocates to eliminate violence around the world. To date, she has provided training to victim and survivor advocates in 25 states and 9 countries (across 3 continents). On average, Dr. Watson speaks to 10,000 live audience members each year. With her experience working with survivors of violence, she has become an on-going consultant to the US Department of Defense, the Nation al Football League (USA), and to major television networks.  In addition to her speaking and consulting work, Dr. Watson sits on the Board of Directors for The Lady Parts Collective, which is a Los Angeles-based theatre company specializing in the development of work relevant to women in the United States.  She is also a Director Emeritus for the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers. Dr. Watson is the author of the book, Only Trying to Help, which is also the name of her podcast, now entering its 6th season.

Kate explores the application of Motivational Interviewing when working with survivors of violence and the role of advocacy in supporting safety, autonomy and self-determination. A central theme is amplifying the person’s own voice rather than allowing the practitioner’s understandable wish to protect or rescue to dominate the conversation.

The discussion considers self-advocacy as change talk, responding to the fixing reflex and respecting choice in situations where risk and vulnerability may be significant. These themes connect with Empowerment, Change Talk and the Fixing Reflex.

Physio-Physical Therapy

Glenn and Seb welcomed Maddy Nicholson to the podcast to discuss MI in physio-physical therapy for chronic pain. Maddy has been a registered physiotherapist for 15 years, specialising for 10 years as a clinical specialist physiotherapist in persistent pain management. She is currently working as a senior lecturer and programme leader for physiotherapy at Wrexham Glyndwr University in Wales, UK. Maddy is currently a PhD student at Sheffield Hallam University with Professor Jeff Breckon as director of studies, where she is exploring MI in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy care.

She became a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) after attending the training for new trainers (TNT) in Estonia in 2019 and has delivered MI training to psychology trainees, student and registered physiotherapists, sports injury rehabilitation students, occupational therapists, dieticians, substance misuse workers and medical practitioners.

Maddy enjoys being involved in the MINT community within events such as MINT UK forum, MINT forum, ‘MINT around the clock’ and the MI ‘playground’.

Maddy explores how Motivational Interviewing can support physiotherapy conversations, particularly with people experiencing persistent or chronic pain. MI can help practitioners move beyond giving advice to understand what matters to the person, the meaning behind change talk and the emotions that may sit underneath decisions about rehabilitation and activity.

The episode also considers multidisciplinary care, allowing emotion into the consultation and using genuine affirmations. These themes connect with Affirmations, Change Talk and Motivational Interviewing in Healthcare.

MI in schools

Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Andrew Williams, NPQH to the podcast for a fascinating and timely discussion on MI in schools. Andy has taught for 28 years, the last 10 years as Deputy Headteacher at a large secondary school in South Wales. He was the winner of the Pearson’s Teacher of the Year Award in 2000. His work on building a frame for maintaining and repairing relationships has led him to be seconded to work with Chief Constable at Gwent Police Force, 

Andy has served alongside the Chief Executive Officer in three Local Authorities and most recently with a Championship Football Club. He has worked closely with Professor Stephen Rollnick on Motivational Interviewing in School and has provided seminars across the world on restorative approaches and the link to mental health and wellbeing. In addition to his work with Professor Rollnick he is now working with Dr Belinda Hopkins on mediation and restorative leadership. 

He is a practising Zen Buddhist and lives with his partner Matthew and his young Beagle, Olly. 

Andrew explores how Motivational Interviewing can contribute to school cultures built around relationships, inclusion and learning rather than compliance alone. The discussion considers how changes in everyday conversations between staff and young people can support wellbeing, behaviour and engagement.

Andy also examines the relationship between MI and restorative approaches, including the importance of repairing relationships and developing a culture that supports genuine dialogue. These themes connect with Partnership, Engaging and Acceptance in Motivational Interviewing.
