Follow these tips to motivate the patient

• Ask open-ended questions and take the answers to their fullest potential, and don't forget to maintain eye contact. Open questions usually start with "what", "where", "how", "when", "why", "for whom" and other expressions.
• Summarize the conversation, make generalizations, showing that you listened carefully to the patient.

Use affirmations to show support and encouragement for the patient's actions, and to praise the patient's recovery efforts. People tend to listen, trust and open up to those who see and recognize their strengths and efforts.

• Praise and reassure the patient with "you". "You are a strong person", "You will be able" and so on.
• Show the patient that you do not impose anything, but value his right to free choice. for example: "I can also offer you...", "There are other options as well, such as..." and so on
• Do not use accusations, because with them you can completely destroy mutual understanding. "You are wrong", "You yourself are to blame for this situation" and other similar expressions can destroy the foundations of cooperation that are laid at that very moment.

▫️Don't forget that motivating the patient is of great importance in achieving success.
