What studies explain why we need to communicate for our physical health? How can not dealing with emotions properly damage not only our physical health, but our mental health?
Does holding in all of your emotions by not communicating with others cause you to fall into depression? It seems there are many of us that tend to hold in our emotions rather than communicating to others on how we are feeling. We may go on believing that if we keep these feelings hidden, especially negative feelings, that no one will get hurt. However, studies show that not communicating with others can not only be harmful on your physical health but also your mental health therefore, at the end of the day you are only hurting yourself. I am hoping to learn about why holding in your emotions causes this type of damage to yourself and what steps we can do to avoid non communication. As mentioned earlier, we are all guilty of hiding in our emotions especially if it’s something that’s embarrassing or we just may not feeling like
“talking” about it. I feel that after reading why communicating is healthy for us, it will help us want to communicate more.

Some people may have barriers when it comes to communicating such as personal space issues. It is imperitive to make the client feel as comfortable as possible when communicating, if the person looks to be feeling uncomfortable with how you are communicating they may not be taking in the information you are giving them putting them at potential risk or if it is the client that is giving the information they may be holding something back again putting them at risk.
Communication is defined as ‘a transactional process involving participants who occupy different but overlapping environments and create relationships through the exchange of messages, many of which are affected by external, psychological and physiological noise’ (Adler, R and Proctor, R. 2010). Communication doesn’t just mean verbal communication, as non-verbal communication is just as, if not, more important as verbal communication. According to Albert Mehrabian, only 7% of a message is communicated through verbal communication, 38% is communicated through your tone of
Communication involves the exchange of messages and is a process which all individuals participate in. Whether it is through spoken word, written word, non-verbal means or even silence, messages are constantly being exchanged between individuals or groups of people (Bach & Grant 2009). All behaviour has a message and communication is a process which individuals cannot avoid being involved with (Ellis et al 1995).

Communication has often been defined by scholar as the process by which people send messages and generate meanings across various contexts, cultures, and media. The process of communicating does not stop; it occurs cycle after cycle. Whether through verbal or non-verbal messages, the transaction takes place and is inevitable, named by scholars as The Principle of Communication Inevitability. Recognizing that communication will exist, whether intentional or not, it is important to understand the various areas of our life where communication may be vital to the success of the structure. One important area is focused on human
There are a number of barriers to effective communication in health and social care. One of these is environment. If the environment gets in the way of effective communication, then the receiver may not understand the message that is being given to them. An example of environmental factors in a health and social setting would be a busy hospital being uncomfortably busy or loud. If a patient is in a busy ward and cannot relax due to excessive noise, phones ringing and people bustling in and out, they will not be able to relax or get any proper rest, which will affect their recovery.
Communication contributes to physical health and well-being. According to Merriam Webster, communication defines as the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else. There are seven billion people in the world. Communication with another human being is rare. In the textbook, Interpersonal Communication by Kory Floyd it showed a horrific example that was set by German emperor Frederick II. He placed 50 newborns in a care with nurses but told them not to speak to them but to bathe them only. Without the communication characteristics, all 50 newborns died. When communication is not applicable for an extended period of time, it effects the physical needs for a person. These include colds, and illness which they do not recover from right away. Also they are likely to suffer from heart diseases. Those who are homeless, or have mental illness can also suffer the lack of interaction. But with communication, people are less likely to suffer from these harsh

1. From Martins story, I learned that Communication is what makes us human, by enabling us to tell our own stories, express warmth, needs, desires, and also hear those of others. True communication is more than just physically relaying a message, but also about getting that message heard and respected. The piece made it clear that although verbal communication is very important, non-verbal communication (e.g. smiling) is just as effective as verbal communication in facilitating healing. Communication enables us to express ourselves, ideas and make decisions. Likewise, proper communication techniques are essential in getting a job, education, and in securing a better life.
