In this short bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, we’re exploring emotional first aid - the gentle, immediate care your mind and body need when you’re emotionally flooded.

Emotional flooding isn’t a personal failure. It’s a physiological state where the nervous system becomes overwhelmed, the limbic system takes over, and rational thought goes offline.

In this episode, you’ll learn three simple, science-backed steps you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed.

Think of these steps as your emotional emergency kit - accessible, compassionate, and powerful enough to shift your system back toward steadiness.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to force clarity or think your way out of overwhelm. You just need one breath, one truth, one small act of self-support at a time.
