Most of us know what to do when someone cuts their hand: clean the wound, stop the bleeding, and get help if it is serious. Far fewer people know what to do in the first moments after rejection, humiliation, a painful conflict at work, a disappointment or a wave of emotional overwhelm. These everyday emotional injuries are common, yet they are often ignored until distress becomes harder to manage.
