Carla nurses her newly broken bone, and then she and Sherry take a Love Fix question from a listener whose boyfriend has photos of his ex on his phone. She’s wondering if this is normal and just annoying, or super sketchy red flag behavior. They then welcome Tess McMechan, a Certified Somatic and Trauma Integration Practitioner. Tess works one-on-one with people to help them identify the root cause of why they are suffering, heal their trauma, break cycles, and deprogram conditionings. In the conversation, Tess talks about how and why red flags in relationships often stem from past trauma, and what we can do about it. She also talks about the inspiration behind her audiobook release for her new book, “Breaking Free: Empowering Yourself Beyond Victimhood.”
