therapeutic metacommunication

In today’s world, communication – rather, effective communication – has reduced significantly mainly due to lack of time. The therapist can also share their feelings, views, or experiences with the patient on related matters. This helps to develop a strong bond between the therapist and the patient. A therapist should follow the following principles in their sessions when it comes to meta-communication: Engage the patient in a collaborative interaction during the intervention. The therapist should be open-minded in approaching the patient. A child complains of frequent stomach pain with no apparent clinical findings.
