Abstract

The article discusses the common ambivalent feeling of being on the fence on making a positive change. Topics covered include the natural seesawing in the change process, the technique of motivational interviewing in helping change one's behavior, and questions therein that one may answer to determine one's confidence in change and its level of importance. Also noted is the process's facilitation of discovering and addressing the root causes of one's ambivalence.
