The Trauma You Don't Know You Have | Jessica Hammock

Jessica Hammock, licensed professional counselor and founder of Vibrant Voice, joins Brenda Siri to talk about the trauma most people don't realize they're carrying. She explains her Hope Factor framework of hope stealers, hope dealers and hope healers, the difference between big T and little t trauma, and how the fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up at work and at home. Jessica also shares why so many high achievers struggle beneath the surface, what leaders can do to create psychologically safer workplaces, and three simple practices for building emotional resilience: write it out, talk it out and move it out. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Preview 0:12 Introduction 0:39 Meet Jessica Hammock and the Meaning of Her Crown 2:30 The Hope Factor: Hope Stealers, Dealers and Healers 5:27 What Trauma Really Is 7:38 Big T and Little t Trauma 9:59 How Unresolved Trauma Shows Up in Adulthood 11:37 What High Achievers Hide Beneath the Surface 13:22 Perfectionism, People Pleasing and Childhood 15:56 Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn 16:57 Why Reactions Feel Bigger Than the Moment 19:39 What Each Stress Response Looks Like 22:54 What Trauma Healing Really Looks Like 24:43 Common Misconceptions About Therapy 27:58 When to Get Help 29:24 How Unresolved Stories Affect Leaders 30:38 Creating Psychologically Safer Workplaces 31:47 Write It Out, Talk It Out, Move It Out 33:59 Jessica's Success Factors 35:42 How to Connect With Jessica 🎙️ Learn more about Vibrant Voice: https://vibrantvoice.life/ 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes:    / @successfactorswithbrendasiri   💼 Corporate Connections LLC: https://corporateconnectionsllc.com/ 🔗 Connect with Brenda Siri on LinkedIn:   / brenda-siri   #SuccessFactors #BrendaSiri #MentalHealth
