Rapport Talk

Rapport talk as discussed on page 204 in chapter 7 of our book is how women construct relationships with their communication. As a women I know that I myself use this strategy when giving shots to patients. I will give advice on what works best for me when I get shots and let the little ones know that I know what they feel like and it will be ok after. For example, I received a tetanus shot several weeks ago and showed my bandaid to the patient and told her how my experience went after seeing that I was ok she calmed down enough to receive the shot.
