We know change isn’t always easy. It can be especially difficult when it comes to our clients altering their diets, amount of physical activity, or even bad habits like cigarette smoking. What are some strategies practitioners can employ to create lasting changes in our clients? In this episode Dr Adrian Lopresti is joined by Dr Michelle Jongenelis, Senior Research Fellow and Deputy Director of the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change. Michelle talks about her own research and clinical experience in creating lasting behavioural change for clients, exploring why it can be difficult for people to change, what strategies practitioners can use to assess motivation and willingness to change, and how to set collaborative and realistic goals with our clients to help ensure successful and longterm changes.
