Cevap
The therapeutic responses involve making supportive observations ("You seem very distressed right now...") and offering self ("I will stay right here with you...").
Therapeutic communication in a psychiatric setting focuses on prioritizing the client's current feelings and emotional safety. Making observations validates the client's visible distress and encourages them to open up. Offering self (staying with the client) provides a supportive, reassuring presence during moments of acute anxiety without forcing them to talk if they are not ready.
