ABOUT OUR GUEST: 

Jessica Rector is a trauma-centered relationship coach who safely encourages her clients to dive into their deepest shadows in order to propel them into their newest chapters. Jessica’s practice is centered on emotional trauma as it relates to physical pain, and she uses plant medicines as a catalyst to bring her clients closer to their best selves. Jessica currently leads the Relationship Reboot: Journey Back to Self Course which focuses on building trust within yourself and your relationships through the lens of nervous system regulation.   


TOPIC: 

In our conversation with Jessica, we discuss the human nervous system and its close connection with trauma and our relationships. Jessica highlights how trauma affects each of us differently and understanding how it manifests in ourselves is the first step to managing an unregulated nervous system. Plus, she breaks down Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn responses and shares her tips for checking in and getting more in-tune with our nervous system in order to effectively communicate our emotions and needs with our partners. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What T/trauma is and how it shows up in our daily lives 
  • The nervous system as it relates to our trauma 
  • Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn responses 
  • The signs and symptoms of an unregulated nervous system 
  • Tips for expressing Emotional Flooding
