Person-Centered Therapy

Let’s dive into what makes Motivational Interviewing (MI) different from Person-Centered Therapy (PCT). MI focuses on pushing you to change specific behaviors fast. Think of quitting smoking or eating healthier. It uses direct questions and “change talk” to spark motivation. Studies show MI can boost success rates by 20% for behavior change. PCT, on the other hand, offers a safe, judgment-free zone. It helps you explore yourself without set goals. Personal growth matters most here, not quick fixes. MI aims for speedy results. PCT takes time to build deep self-understanding. Both are strong tools, but they fit different needs. Stay with me to learn even more about them.
