~ No attempt is made to have the client accept or “admit” a problem
Basic Principles cont…

Underrated channel, great content. A lot of similiarities with coaching I'd say. Thanks.

[antarctist]

as a patient, i feel like im seeing behind the curtain here. but it's also making it more clear why i dont do anything after therapy...

[anggita]

Hi, Doc Spines. Thank you for this video! You're amazing. I have a question; is MET under the cognitive approach, or behaviristic approach, or cognitive-behavioristic approach?

[paulaandreagalindo]

Thanks so much for this content. This therapy approach sounds very empowering and potentially effective. I'd really like to connect with a therapist that works with this approach. I've been looking online, but I haven't found anything yet. Do you have any suggestions on how I can find a therapist/counselor that uses this therapy?

[tinamarie]

Do you have a link to the slides/powerpoint?

[bonniegriffin]

Hi. Bonnie Griffin here. Struggling to find the link on all ceus so I found it here on YouTube but I don't see the chat. Maybe because I'm on my phone?
