Therapeutic communication is a purposeful and professional interaction between a healthcare provider and a patient. It aims to enhance the patient's well-being by fostering trust, understanding, and emotional support. This type of communication involves active listening, empathy, and open-ended questions, allowing patients to express their feelings and concerns. In therapeutic communication, the healthcare provider uses verbal and non-verbal techniques to create a safe environment. This approach helps patients feel valued and understood, which can lead to better health outcomes. Techniques may include reflective listening, clarifying questions, and maintaining appropriate eye contact to encourage dialogue.
