Many individuals refuse to alter their unhealthy habits\, leading to self-harm and impacting others. This presentation explores leveraging nostalgia—a sentimental yearning for the past—to facilitate behavior change. It emphasizes using\nnostalgic reflections on a pre-addiction life as a powerful\, yet underexplored\, motivator. Additionally\, it delves into the potential negative aspects of nostalgia for individuals in recovery. \n‍\nLearning objectives: \n\n‍‍Describe why nostalgic reverie (i.e.\, sentimental longing) is an agent of behavior change\nIdentity the conditions under which nostalgia has behavior change utility\nUnderstand when longing for the past or desire for a better future should be used to motivate behavior change.\n\n‍ \nMotivational Interviewing for Clients with Gambling Disorder\n‍David Hodgins\, PhD University of Calgary \nThis presentation will review Motivational Interviewing (MI) principles and their use with different levels of client readiness to change. Although MI utilizes specific therapeutic strategies/tools\, it is fundamentally a style of interpersonal interaction rather than a scripted protocol. As such\, an MI-style can be used in any encounter by therapists and non-therapists alike to facilitate service engagement and behavior change. This training will provide a review and practice of MI principles and skills. \n‍\nLearning objectives \n\n‍‍Participants will review the philosophy and principles of the motivational interviewing approach\nParticipants review and learn basic motivational interviewing techniques.\nParticipants will explore how motivational techniques can be used to help clients engage in the treatment process (avoid dropout)\n\n‍ \nPANORAMIC VIEWS: Self and Gambler in Helping Relationships\n‍Cindy Anderson\, MSW\, LCSW\, ICGC-I\, Founder and Executive Director People Works-New Mexico \nThis workshop addresses a helping professional’s need for a panoramic view of the interiors and exteriors of a gambler’s life while not neglecting the impact of our own interiors/exteriors. This presentation provides an overview of issues to look for: comorbidities\, the shame and stigma associated with gambling disorder\, and need for\nassessment and intervention in multiple domains of a gambler’s life. As a helping professional\, willingness to converse about difficult subjects such as trauma\, shame\, sex\, cultural influences\, and money become critical. \n‍\nLearning objectives: \n\nIdentify 3 potential comorbidities or associated conditions found in problem gambling.\nIdentify 3 domains of a gambler’s life that you should include in your assessment and possible interventions.\nIdentify your own biases and difficulty in helping problem gamblers.\n\n‍
