Description

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a short-term, client-centered counseling approach designed to help individuals increase their intrinsic motivation to make positive behavioral changes, particularly in areas like substance abuse and other health-related goals. It works by resolving ambivalence through a non-judgmental exploration of personal motivations, providing structured feedback, and strengthening the belief in one's ability to change. MET typically involves a few sessions, often four, where the therapist collaboratively helps the client identify goals, recognize potential barriers, and reinforce progress toward change.
