Reviews and Reader Comments for The Emotional First Aid Manual

“This book claims to be a companion to a physical first aid manual. I thought at first that might be an exaggeration but after reading the book, I’m convinced it is true. What a welcome addition to my reference library. Every home should have one.”

James Evans, Editor of the Trauma Resolution Newsletter

“I had a death in my family just before I read this book. When I read the section on losses in The Emotional First Aid Manual, I was able to easily use the information to good effect.”

Mary Ellen, San Juan Capistrano, CA

“The book is so simple, so well written, and so useful, it is revolutionary. I especially loved the frequent examples and the wonderful list of resources. The Emotional First Aid Manual gave me the courage to help my loved ones without worrying that I might do something wrong.”

Bob Henderson, Salt Lake City, Utah
