Judith Simon Prager: Verbal First Aid
-What to say when every second counts and how to prevent PTSD

“Verbal First Aid™ uses words to set a course for healing from fear and pain.” When people are in fear, pain, or crisis, they often go into fight/flight/freeze, slipping into an altered state of consciousness in which what is said to them can be received by the mind/body as a hypnotic command. At such time, words can harm and words can heal. Frightening words can send chemicals such as adrenalin and cortisol which impede healing, whereas words that create calm can help set a course for the body’s recovery. Moreover, the right words can affect the future by turning a potential trauma into a memory of rescue. You’ll learn the Verbal First Aid protocol for providing words that can calm, promote healing, relieve pain, and even save lives.

Judith Simon Prager has a PhD in psychology and has taught Verbal First Aid in medical centers across the US and around the world including China after their disastrous earthquake in Sichuan and in England, biannually, at the European School of Osteopathy. She been a consultant to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and to Children’s Hospital of Orange County. She has co-authored two books on the subject of Verbal First Aid (the first of which was deemed “the ‘bible’ for crisis communication” by The International Journal of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Prager has a private practice in Los Angles and has been an instructor in the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program for 25 years.
