In this episode with Mike Studer, he introduces us to concepts such as Nudge and Gamification and how these concepts can be used through active listening techniques to help your patients make better and healthier decisions. We discuss how you can use these ideas in your sessions to encourage autonomy, productivity and mastery for your patients and ultimately help with patient motivation.
