Emotional First Aid Manual: Your Guide to Healing Distress Patterns
Just as physical first aid treats wounds on the body, Emotional First Aid teaches you how to tend to inner injuries—moments of overwhelm, loss, fear, and emotional pain—with compassion and science-backed tools.
What Is Emotional First Aid?
Emotional First Aid is the practice of giving your emotional self the same level of care and urgency as your physical body when it’s hurt. It’s the ability to pause and apply gentle, effective tools the moment distress begins.
Inside this manual, you’ll learn to recognize distress, stabilize your emotions, and create containment—the vital pause between feeling and reaction that allows true healing to begin.
