A core principle of motivational interviewing (MI) is expressing empathy through reflective listening. The counselor seeks to understand the patient's perspective and feelings without judgment, argument, or direct persuasion. This involves using reflective statements to show understanding and validate the patient's experience. This empathic approach builds a collaborative partnership and helps the patient explore their own ambivalence about change, increasing their intrinsic motivation rather than imposing external pressure.
