Some Aspects of Mindful Communication in Neurological Practice

Summary/Abstract: Mindfulness has its origins in Buddhist traditions and encourages individuals to accept the present moment exactly as it is, without judging people, actions, or events. Mindfulness techniques are taken up by medical researchers and applied in therapeutic programs for mental health. Also, mindfulness contributes to improve the quality of medical communication, to developing the skills of transmitting and receiving information, facilitating an effective, empathetic, and conscious dialogue between mental health professionals and patients. Mindfulness practices are welcome not only for patients but also for healthcare professionals, as they can help reduce emotional exhaustion, and develop skills to prevent burnout syndrome.
