Special Topics in MI Series Presents:
You Are the Cake! Findings from 70 Years of Psychotherapy Research
Are you a helping professional who sometimes feels like you're not sure you have what it takes to facilitate change?
Do you place credence in evidence-based tools, while forgetting what YOU bring to the table relationally?
Are you ready to look at how your inner experience and attitude can impact client outcomes?
In this 1-hour workshop, we dive into the use of SELF in the change process.
Early on in my days as a therapist, a mentor said to me, "YOU are the cake, Hillary." What does cake have to do with being a therapist?! She explained further, "Who YOU are, how YOU show up with clients, THAT is the bulk of our work as therapists. The skills and tools we bring to sessions are the icing, but remember, YOU are the cake." In this session, we will play around with the synthesis of the roots of humanistic psychology, Motivational Interviewing spirit, and who we are as therapists as tools to enhance the change process with clients. We are in this business to help people change! Come learn about the key ingredients to this process! I will also share recent findings from 70 years of psychotherapy research from the 2021 book by Bill Miller & Theresa Moyers. Enhance your flavor of cake, and learn evidence-based methods of showing up in the room. You don't have to be a therapist for this to be applicable! Any helping professional will connect to this material.

The You Are the Cake workshop is very helpful to our staff in developing their own style and own approach, and I think it's a workshop that all new helping professionals should take.

Hillary Logan MSW, LCSW, LCAS
Founder, MI Consultant & Trainer
When I first started as a helping professional over 20 years ago, I did so many things wrong! Through learning Motivational Interviewing, as well as plenty of my own trial and error, I learned what to do and what not to do when people are stuck. Unfortunately, our good intentions to help often backfire, and might even contribute more to client stuckness. Join us in learning more effective ways to help clients get unstuck!
I have been a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) since 2011. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Addiction Therapist, and absolutely delight in helping individuals, groups, and organizations learn the essential skills of Motivational Interviewing.
