Supervision doesn’t have to feel like pulling teeth. 🦷

In this episode of MI for Change, Dr. Monica Gilbert explores how Motivational Interviewing (MI) can transform the way we communicate with supervisees and interns — turning resistance into reflection and compliance into collaboration.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated when supervisees don’t take data, follow through on feedback, or seem disengaged, this episode is for you.
Through real-world examples and practical strategies, Monica shares how to replace the “fixing reflex” with curiosity, empathy, and partnership.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✅ How to use MI principles (open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries) in supervision
✅ How to apply the Ask–Offer–Ask (AOA) approach when giving feedback
✅ Ways to build trust and rapport with new therapists and interns
✅ Why autonomy and collaboration matter more than control
✅ How curiosity can replace correction — and lead to real growth

💬 “If we don’t have rapport, we have nothing.”
