Same thing happened to me the first time I tried MI—I opened my mouth and out came a stream of advice, not curiosity. What finally helped was seeing how pros actually talk when someone’s torn. This blog breaks MI into small moves with real dialogue, not just buzzwords: benefits of motivational interviewing . After reading, I practiced with a roommate debating a job change and noticed I stopped pushing my fixes and started uncovering her reasons, which felt way more natural.

I get this completely—my aunt struggled with migraines for years, and nothing seemed to really touch them. One day she mentioned TMS, and I had no clue what it even was. Reading about it made me realize it’s a non-invasive way to stimulate parts of the brain that might help with pain or mood, not some sci-fi gadget. This page breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense: best clinics offering TMS therapy . After that, I felt more comfortable talking to her about whether it could be worth a try.

My mom has had migraines for years that meds barely touch, and she read somewhere that transcranial magnetic stimulation might help. I don’t really understand it though. Can you point me to something that explains TMS clearly so I can decide if it’s worth suggesting she looks into it

Oh good, thankks for the comment
