Today’s Session
WHAT?
 Activities Useful for Training Sessions
– Increase interaction, emotional safety & energize participants
– Insight on mind-brain
 Activities To Reinforce MI Spirit & the Nuanced Skills of MI
– Verbal & Non-Verbal Communication
– Empathy (emotional attunement, mirror neurons)
 Activities to Review Concepts Learned
 Way to Support/Guide Clients Through Change Process
HOW?
 Large Circles, Small Circles, Pairs, Pop-Corn Discussion
OUTCOME: Build “integrative neural fibers” as a result of our
multi-modal interaction.
The Brain Simulation
 50 or more Neurotransmitters
 Balanced levels in accordance with what is going on in
the environment is critical
 Stress neuro-chemicals important but need to be
balanced and over abundant long term
Social exclusion [emotional
threats] makes the same part of
the brain light up as pain.
Praise [affirmations] makes the
same part of the brain light up as
winning a prize. Affirmations?
FEAR, RAGE or PANIC
Look at the words below, say out loud the
COLOR not the word from left to right:
Face and eye contact are hard wired
into our neural circuits… Right brain
perceives and sends messages
through facial expressions, left brain
through words.*

Interact to Shape Who We Are (2nd Ed); Guilford Press: NY, p. 176-177
Activities to Enhance
Learning
 Finger Catch (hemispheres)
 Challenge by Choice (autonomy)
 Zones (self-determination/self-efficacy)
 Brain Simulation (environment affects mental process,
change)
 Webbing Circle Activities (overcoming fear, relying on
others for support)
 Finger Trust Walk (trust & rapport building for
therapeutic alliance)
Processing the Experience
 Guiding Skills:
a) head & heart/reflecting experience,
b) generalizing/making meaning/evoking change
talk,
c) application/evoking commitment language)
Activities to Understand &
Reinforce MI Spirit & the
Nuanced Skills of MI
Attunement of mental states through
nonverbal connection is a
collaborative communication that is
needed on the part of therapists,
parents and really in all human
relationships.*

Emotions
 Emotions serve to connect one mind to another.
 Emotional processing prepares the brain and the rest of the
body for action, to “evoke motion.”
 Emotions are critical to memory, learning and
decisionmaking
 Non-verbal communication conveys emotions (facial
expression, tone, posture, gestures)
 The circuits that connect emotions include the Prefrontal
Cortex with the Amygdala (tend to be on the right side of
that vertical connection)
Empathy
 Empathy provides the attunement to help a
person organize their mind.*
 “Mirror properties in our brain enable us to
imagine empathically what is going on inside
another person.”^
 Mirror Neurons involve cells that are both motor
and perceptually activated.
*Seigel, 2012, p. 175
^Ibid, p. 165.
Mirror Neurons
 Empathy involves Mirroring
 Subconscious Mirroring
 Synchronic Integration
Activities to Understand &
Reinforce MI Spirit & the
Nuanced Skills of MI
 Traps (Avoiding the Righting Reflex and other traps)
 Verbal Communication/Reflection Activities
 Chiji Cards (Practice Affirmations and Reflective Listening)
 Non-Verbal Communication—

Meeting Eyes (Energizer, Non-verbal communication)
Screaming Toes “
“
Whose Go My Money? (Energizer, Non-verbal communication)
Space Counting (reflective listening, collaborative communication)
Lean Walk (Collaborative Communication, Guiding)
 Exploration of Empathy
 Collaborative-Integrative Conversation to Resolve
Ambivalence (connecting neural circuits)
The Importance of Neural Integration
Interpersonal Relationships/Communication are
Essential to Neural Integration
Collaborative
Communication
 Collaborative Communication is Integrative, promoting
growth of integrative fibers in the brain (Seigel, 2012)
 Imagining change begins the process of rewiring the
brain.
The Benefits of Neural Integration
 Improves memory
 Makes relationships stronger
 Increases creativity and efficiency
 Increases resiliency and flexibility
 Improves problem-solving skills
 Helps a person create the life they want
Ways to Promote
Neural Integration = MI
 Balance nurturance and optimal stress (guide)
 Empathic attunement (empathy, affirmations,
reflection)
 Involvement of both affect and cognition (reflective
listening)
 Simultaneous activation of neural networks
(OARS/DARN CAT)
 Affect regulation (change steps/process)
 Co-construction of narratives (Reflective Listening)
