Your nervous system
doesn't care what's
on your calendar.
20 real-life resets for the moments you're already in.
Overwhelm First Aid Kit
Available in paperback and Kindle. Written by Sandra Dubrov.
Real scenarios.
Real tools.
No theory.
- 20 scenarios pulled from real life
- Built on named clinical frameworks
- Designed for the exact moment you're in
20 scenarios. Find yours.
Not sure where to start? The book opens with a triage tool that helps you find the right scenario in under two minutes.
Every scenario has a color story. It was built that way on purpose.
Mist blue, pale yellow, and soft gray reflect the visual cues of a dark, quiet room. These tones guide the visual system toward rest and are drawn from the same principles used in sleep-supportive environments.
Every coloring page in the book was built around the biology of that specific emotional state. Scan the QR code to see the page completed in its full palette before you begin.
Each code links to a finished coloring page on Velelle.com.
