Is Compassion a Component of Motivational Interviewing?

i think talking about compassion as a component of motivational interviewing, in my mind, splits it off from a large group of people who might otherwise try to use it. I do the same thing with compassion, right? I think a compassionate emi therapist is a much better therapist than a non-compassionate one. But how do i evaluate that rate? That's mya,. you know, a, you know, geeky, little, a misguided interest.Ii think it's misguided. So what i do with loving kindness is nothing, because i can't measure it. Now, does that mean i don't think it's important? No, of course.
