36

When a change talk theme emerges, ask for more details. In what ways? Tell me more…? What does that look like?

37
Q

A

When a change talk theme emerges, ask for specific examples. When was the last time that happened? Give me an example. What else?

38
Q

What are the characteristics of “Look Back” for evoking change talk?

A

Ask about a time before the current concern emerged. How were things better, different?

39
Q

What are the characteristics of “Look forward” for evoking change talk?

Ask what may happen if things continue as they are (status quo). Try the miracle question: If you were 100% successful in making the changes you want,
what would be different? How would you like your life to be five years from now?

40
Q

What are the characteristics of “Query Extremes” for evoking change talk?

Q

What are the characteristics of “Use Change Rulers” for evoking change talk?

A

Ask, “On a scale from zero to ten, how important is it to you to [target change] - where zero is not at all important, and ten is extremely important? Follow up: And why are you at ___and not _____ [lower number than they stated]? What might happen that could move you from ___ to [higher number]? Instead of “how important” (need), you could also ask how much you want (desire), or how confident you are that you could (ability), or how committed are you to (commitment). Asking “how
ready are you?” tends to be confusing because it combines competing components of
desire, ability, reasons and need.

42
Q

What are the characteristics of “Explore Goals and Values” for evoking change talk?

A

Ask what the person’s guiding values are. What do they
want in life? Using a values card sort can be helpful here. If there is a “problem”
behavior, ask how that behavior fits in with the person’s goals or values. Does it help realize a goal or value, interfere with it, or is it irrelevant?

43
Q

What are the characteristics of “Come Alongside” for evoking change talk?

A

Explicitly side with the negative (status quo) side of ambivalence. Perhaps _______ is so important to you that you won’t give it up, no matter what the cost.
