Welcome to my blog Behavioral First Aid or How to Say the Right Thing! (some of the time)

January 3, 2008 8:30 pm Dr. Duffy Miscellaneous

This blog is an extension and elaboration of the concepts in my book Behavioral First Aid: Managing Emotions during Emergencies. Here we will discuss how to use words to calm others (and ourselves), mental health issues in general, and communication related topics. I love to talk about talking and here is my favorite quote reminding us how hard this really can be.

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” - Robert McCloskey

I will post on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Please join the discussion.
