THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
Is the medical terminology for the, “face-to-face process of interacting that focuses on advancing the physical and emotional well-being of a patient. This kind of communication has three general purposes: collecting information to determine illness, assessing and modifying behaviour, and providing health education. By using therapeutic communication, we attempt to learn as much as we can about the patient in relation to his illness. To accomplish this learning, both the sender and the receiver must be consciously aware of the confidentiality of the information disclosed and received during the communication process.”
Think of the benefits to your marriage if you were to adopt the same approach? Try some therapeutic communication with your spouse today to source the route of a problem, ways to improve your behavioural response and a appropriate conflict resolution.
This blog is full of resources to help you and your spouse to re-educate yourselves; as we all know the silent treatment, angry outbursts and emotional blackmail are counter productive. Aim today toward therapeutic communication with your spouse and others.
