Therapeutic Conversation Process

331 Words2 Pages
Doing a therapeutic conversation process recording takes a lot of thought process because it is a lot more in-depth then a causal conversation. During the recording I found that quite a bit of silencing and personal thinking was made it made it very apparent that only therapeutic conversation was the only thing that was being conveyed throughout the conversation. During the conversation I was able to bite my tongue and not give my advice on this particular situation and by me not giving my advice it allowed the client to be able to have her own thought process in the matter versus me giving her the thought.

As a leader within my fraternity, I've performed and practiced therapeutic communication without even being aware of it. This week I was able to active listen to patients, such as a patient who explained his glaucoma to us and how it was partially fixed, but a complication arose that needs to be assessed and stabilized. I also was able to sit down and talk with a patient before her bath to see what she wanted to wear. Asking open ended questions, active listening, being silent to give her time to respond, etc. enforced my therapeutic communication within the healthcare setting. A non-therapeutic bias I've come to realize is that instead of talking to the patient, I communicated to the nurse instead.

The purpose of the video is to explain why 30 is not the new 20, even though it may seem like it. People start work, get married, and have kids later then they used to. That is what has brought up the topic and Meg Jay wanted to explain why 30 is not the new 20. I agree with Jay's point of view on how the 20's is a time to develop. I don't think that the 20's have to be a waste of time because you can be working on yourself during that time.

118-119). Moreover, open questions are an excellent way to even the power balance between client and counselor by sharing control of the conversation (p 119). Because the client is encouraged to speak freely, the counselor can better view their reasoning abilities and thought process. Moving to the disadvantages of open questioning we find that they can be very time

Through me becoming aware of the situation it enables me to maintain a professional healthy relationship and bias with the client. Therapy will allow me to learn how to observe, acknowledge confront, and deal with the situation ethically, and right away when it starts to happen. It can also allow me to identify and explore my blind spots that I am confronted with through my clients, and will allow me to help set my personal life away from work, and help succeed professionally.

The key to establishing a trusting relationship is the integration, usage, and mastery of therapeutic communication skills (Belcher & Jones, 2009).Due to the high importance of effective communication in mental health nursing, it is essential in therapeutic interventions. (Peplau, 1952) states that effective interpersonal skills are central to a mental health nurse’s ability to form a sound therapeutic alliance and to the role of mental health nurses. Excellent interpersonal aptitudes are what every mental health nurse needs to communicate effectively with clients. Active listening is more than just hearing what the client has to say, nurse must be actively engaging with the client, physically, emotionally and mentally. Effective listening is therefore a cognitive, behavioural and an affective process (Arnold and Underman Boggs,

Using silence as a technique Silence is an important technique that provides active listening to the client. The process of this therapeutic silence gives clients a chance to think and dig deeply into their emotional feelings. Clients make the choice to come to counseling because they’re facing a heavy load of confusion, struggle with decisions and alternatives for their actions. Silence places the responsibility of the session in the client’s hand but when the silence is broken the agenda has become the counsellor (Ivey, Bradford Ivey & Zalaquett, 2016). “Listening to silence also has a calming effect on clients, as well as counselors.

Specifically, I found it extremely hard to “quiet myself” and let the client really express his point of view. One of my coping strategies for self-perceived awkward situations is to talk a lot and carried over to my interviewing techniques. Whenever I would be asking Ian a question, I would try to explain my question with more questions. For example, whenever I inquiring about Ian’s relationship with his family, I asked him how his relationship was with his sister, who he was closet with, and if he liked his sister all at once, thus he only was able to answer one of these questions due to probably feeling overwhelmed. I did not really provide the needed calm and silent environment to allow him to answer questions one at a time.

Therapists must access their own internal process such as their feelings, attitudes and moods. Therapists’, who are not receptive to the awareness of their flow of thoughts and feelings, will not be able to help clients be aware of theirs (Kahn, 1997, p. 40). Though congruence does not mean that therapists have to share personal issues with clients, a therapist must not conceal their inner process from the client, and not be defensive but transparent (Kahn, 1997, p. 41). By being open sometimes a therapist learns more not only about their client but about themselves

This helped me acknowledge I can be empathic with people in diverse circumstances without being judgemental. I also perceived that I appreciated attempting to help people by provoking their own instincts though solicitous but incisive questioning. I had a tough time with the uncomfortable silences while waiting for a reaction from the coachee, I feel I did not give enough time to the coachee to think about things before I went into other questions. Giving for reflection in the session is portrayed as being vital in coaching by Dembkowski, Eldridge, Hunter (2006, p. 49). “A moment of silence is often helpful for the client to dive into his emotions and think about a specific topic or circumstances.”
