Verbal Trauma Control
Suggestion can be a powerful tool for healing and can have a tremendous effect on the psychology as well as the physiology of the human body. This is especially true in trauma situations. Verbal Trauma Control is a skill that first responders can utilize to take command of the situation e.g., an officer that has been shot or stabbed, a victim of a motor vehicle accident, an injured subject such as a climber or skier where access to advanced medical care is likely to be prolonged or delayed, a burn victim or any other injured person. Trauma victims are in an altered state of consciousness and highly receptive to suggestion.
Personnel trained in the art of Verbal Trauma Control can use this altered state of consciousness to help ensure a positive outcome. Verbal Trauma Control is meant to augment first aide procedures and can help stimulate the healing process prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel, or prior to arriving at a medical facility.
It is common for a person who has been injured to feel scared, alone and confused. People in the immediate environment may be panicked or negative in what they say and often compound these negative feelings and hinder the healing process. By utilizing the most desirable verbal skills, personnel at the scene can bring a sense of calm, control and focus to the injured person.
Verbal Trauma Control can be used to reduce or stop bleeding, prevent shock and eliminate pain or discomfort. First responders such as law enforcement officers, paramedics, firefighters and search and rescue personnel are typically the authority in emergency situations. Whether the victim is conscious or unconscious - their subconscious mind processes information and is receptive to direction given by trained personnel.
