“Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal oriented style of communication with particular attention to the
language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and
exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.”

Motivational Interviewing has been through many stages over the past 25 years. The goal of this six hour training will be to
introduce the most current information on MI that supports its efficacy as an evidenced based practice. Grounded in the
underlying spirit of MI, the four process model introduced in 2013 will be reviewed and its utility explored. Participants
will be encouraged to actively engage with the material and complete various exercises designed to strengthen awareness
and hone skills.
Participants will be given the opportunity to learn the basic skill-set needed for MI, the underlying spirit and core building blocks, and how it may be utilized
in a variety of settings. A brief introduction to coding and supervisory tips for enhancing proficiency will also be included.
1. Describe the four processes utilized in Motivational Interviewing
2. Illustrate the four foci of the MI spirit
3. Explain the contrast of resistance and discord

McLeod Addictive Disease Center’s 2019 Professional Training Series
Marijuana is being legalized in many states either for medical purposes or
recreational use. Because of recent trends toward legalization, many people
believe this substance is harmless and increasingly more socially accepta-
ble. Greater access to marijuana leads to increases in use and in potential
risks such as impairment problem, cannabis use disorder, and addiction.
Do we resort to scare tactics or look to research to help guide our interven-
tions? Does marijuana cause memory loss and learning problems? What
about psychosis? Does marijuana cause impairment of safe driving skills?
Is marijuana addictive?
This session will provide a close look at an evidenced based approach that
uses motivational delivery style along with research supported concepts that
allow for individual to make informed choices about substance use.

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
Addressing Shame and Addiction in the
Pursuit of Wellness
Mark Pimsler, LAPC, NCC, MAC, CCS
As a universal experience shame can be looked at as a gatekeeper to wellness. Shame has the power to color the filters through
which we experience the world. This is not only true of our clients but is also true for us as helping professionals. Participants will look at
the developmental process of shame and how the powerful experience of shame impacts active addiction, treatment, as well as
active recovery. Shame can be one of the largest obstacles to recovery and yet we haven’t had many tools for addressing it. In this
workshop participants will gain a better understanding of how to frame shame as well as address it. Participants will review current
research surrounding shame and shame resilience. Participants will receive experiential group and individual ideas to address shame in clients in the context of sub-
stance use disorder treatment.
Participants will be able to have a deeper understanding of both shame and guilt from a neurocounseling perspective. Participants will be able to know how to provide
education/treatment around shame and addiction. Participants will gain tools in addressing shame in the context of substance use disorder
