A physicаl therаpist (PT) is treаting a 54-year-оld patient with a diagnоsis оf bilateral knee osteoarthritis. After several weeks of physical therapy, the patient expresses concern that there hasn’t been any significant improvement in their pain level and states, "What's the point in exercising if it hurts and I'm just going to need to have them replaced?" The PT suspects that the patient's outcomes are compromised due to an elevated BMI and suboptimal adherence to their home exercise program. The PT would like to engage in a productive conversation about the importance of exercise and weight management. They choose to use motivational interviewing techniques. The patient tells the PT that they feel like everyone is telling them something they already know- i.e., that they need to lose weight- but no one is helping them identify a realistic strategy to exercise while they are having so much pain in their knees. They go on to say that they want to lose weight and have tried many different diet plans in the past with limited success, stating, "None of you in healthcare understand me or can help me." Which motivational interviewing principle would be the MOST important for the PT to implement at this point in the conversation?
