Evoking Change Talk
Change talk is language that reflects movement towards change. There are two broad types of change talk: preparatory and mobilizing. Preparatory change talk occurs when the service user is thinking about changing or exploring a specific change. Mobilizing change talk occurs when the service user is ready to commit to change.
In this Discussion, you will apply strategies for evoking change talk from the service user in the case study you were assigned in Week 2. You will also consider whether you would evoke preparatory or mobilizing change talk with the service user. As you do so, keep in mind that evoking mobilizing change talk (i.e., commitment to change) before the service user is ready can backfire.
