-the vulnerabilities of healing practices that aim for catharsis, and how to create resources, grounding and safety in practices that might organically, and more safely, lead to a cathartic experience
-the foundational elements of Jessica’s signature healing and resiliency building program, Nervous System Reset, what it is, who it is for and how to access it
-what it means to refer to a “dysregulated” nervous system, and when and why being in a dysregulated state makes sense, and is also an appropriate response to an overwhelming situation
