On a scale of 1-10, I would rank my optimal wellness a 7. Since my husband has become disabled it has taken a toll on my personal health. We do not socialize as much as we used. Physically I am his care taker and this requires a lot of lifting. Mentally and emotionally, sometimes it's just hard being both our strengths. Since I have become quite aware of the affects this is taking my body and soul, I have tried to walk at least two miles a day. I find this gets me out of the house, allows me to clear my head a little bit, enjoying the nature around me and helping my physical health at the same time. The days I am allotted to do this, I find I am a much better me.

Therapeutic communication is a technique in which there is a face to face communication between patient and the doctor. The whole conversation is regarding physical and emotional well-being of the patient.
This therapeutic communication is generally used by the nurses for getting all the information of the patient. They make proper observation of the expression and emotion of the patient. They also help their patient to come out of the depression when suffering with any disease.
The patients are allowed to express all the negative feelings in front of the doctor or nurse. By the help of these negative feelings the doctor or the nurse boost up the confidence level.
