Communication comes naturally to most of the people because it`s something that we learn from an early age. Therapeutic  communication  is defined as the face-to-face process of interacting with people in order to help a patient. Communication is the most powerful tool a nurse or a medic can have. It is the basis of therapeutic nurse-pacient relationship   Communication can be defined as the process through which we can  transmit and interpret messages. With therapeutic communication the nurse seeks to get a response from the patient that is beneficial to the patients mental and physical health. Just as stress has been proven to affect the health of individuals, the therapeutic approach to communication can actually help. Whereas non therapeutic communication involves the use of barriers. Here are some types of non therapeutic communication:  giving reassurance, rejecting, giving approval or disapproval ,agreeing or disagreeing giving advice ,probing, interpreting.  Non-therapeutic communication is described as displaying a lack interest in the person with which you are communicating. This  is demonstrated through a closed posture, restlessness, and inattentiveness. Non therapeutic communication is the day to day conversation, that has it`s ups and downs. Not everyone can listen and be kind. People get bored, yawn, talk just because they are obliged and this can be easily seen through their reactions and on their faces.

This kind of communication is not helpful like the therapeutic one , here people are left with the harsh truth. They can be rejected or disapproved. Non therapeutic communication makes you see that not everything is the way it should be. Maybe you start a conversation to get an advice or an approval about what you want to do, but you fnd yourself talking to someone that isn`t interested in what you are saying and that disagrees with you. We all have experienced this type of non therapeutic communication.  Everyone has felt, at least one time, that our partner of conversation is restless and inattentive. Although you try to captivate his attention, the attempt fails. It`s awkward to feel like you are boring someone else and that you can`t keep a conversation going. But don`t be disappointed because it`s perfectly normal and it`s not a unique situation.

Comparing with the therapeutic one, this non therapeutic communication can on the other hand make you stronger. It can also make you never want to have another conversation ever, but this is not an option. When you see that someone has a closed posture, it`s face is all frowned and has a bored look an his face, then it`s a good idea to let that one pass. This type of non therapeutic communication is the motive that keeps us going. In life you will most definitely encounter problems and if you don`t know how to handle them then you won`t survive. So, stay strong and don`t let a meaningful conversation with an uninterested person, get you down. Communication is very important in any area of expertise so don`t give up and try to be kind and always smiling, because it confuses people.
