112. Nervous system myths & parts theory with Jenna Hamm May 30, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Jenna Hamm once again. Jenna is a clinical social worker from Manitoba, Canada. She's trained in multiple modalities including applied Polyvagal Theory, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, nutrition and integrative medicine. Thanks to a combination of genetics and life experience, Jenna has faced many complex physical and mental health issues that couldn't be diagnosed or properly treated. Navigating her own recovery led to a passion in helping others with extreme symptoms related to burnout and unresolved emotional experiences. This episode is filled to with such insightful information about all things nervous system, mental, and physical health.

We discuss:

The most common nervous system myths
Should we feel calm all the time?
Why avoiding stress is making you unhealthier.
Are we exposed to too much mental health information?
The most healing practice for our minds and bodies.
What functional and conventional health models get wrong (and have in common).
And more!
