Jessica discusses the concept of emotional zones—yellow, orange, and red—and how they affect self-regulation and co-regulation in relationships. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's emotional state and adapting responses accordingly, from using breathwork in the yellow zone to more vigorous actions like running in the red zone. The challenges of co-regulating during high activation are explored, highlighting the complexity of knowing what support one needs from a partner in those moments.
