"Owning your story and loving yourself through it is the bravest thing you will ever do." -Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

Jesse shares her story of burnout in it's totality; the good, the bad, & the ugly with courage and compassion. TW - suicidal ideation.

Expecting a highly senstive person to function in this society is like telling a butterfly to go out in a hail storm.

Alexithymia, which is not an inability to feel, but an inability to idenitfy, process, and describe one's own emotions. Individuals with alexithymia struggle to differentiate between physical sensations and emotions, and may have difficulty recognizing emotions in themselves and others. It is considered a personality trait, not a disorder on its own, but it frequently co-occurs with other conditions like autism spectrum disorder, depression, and brain injuries.

NEW TOOL: "I feel...X..." Sensing and feeling for 90 seconds allows it to move through the body.

JOMO - The Joy of Missing Out :)

Healing is messy and uniquely ours~

Ending the silence! A mission of mine is to end the silent sufferning. No more stoicism and shame. When you shine a light on something, it loses the power over us. Trauma takes away our voice and choice and here on the Healing for Hearts and Minds podcast we reclaim our voice and choice, one courageous story at a time!

Here's my website! https://nurse-jesse.com/

Be sure to check out the events calendar for programming in our area. I would love to connect with you soon!
