As coaches, there are always additional challenges when it comes to physical pain and trauma responses. We want to help our clients feel relief and breakthrough in everything they are working through, yet many of us aren’t trained in this area and each of us face our own difficulties.
To talk about your nervous system and coaching, I interviewed Body and Mind Life Coach, Betsy Jensen. I first found Betsy when I had a client who raved about the results she’d been experiencing working with Betsy. During our discussion, Betsy shared about how we are empowered to take control, understanding the nervous system, ingrained trauma or protective response, and flight, fight, freeze or fawn (the protective state). She also opened up about her own chronic conditions, her journey away from pain, and the mindset shifts she undertook to achieve her freedom.
“It’s getting to that calmer state of the nervous system. And then your body knows how to heal. And then you know how to have conversations with people… [And] you can hold space for someone else. You can be that safe place.” – Betsy Jensen
