Trauma survivors often appear “resistant,” “unmotivated,” or “avoidant,” when in reality they are protecting themselves from overwhelming emotional pain. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is uniquely designed to meet these clients with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration — reducing defensiveness while awakening their desire for healing.
