Mental health is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about healing at the root. This week, I sit down with Jessica Parente, an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach, and Level IV Brainspotting Practitioner. Jessica bridges the gap between Western medicine and holistic healing, combining low-dose medication with powerful modalities like Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems Therapy to help clients achieve deeper, lasting transformation.
In this conversation, we dive into:
🎯 Why traditional psychiatry alone isn’t enough—and what’s missing from the system
🎯 Generational trauma & sensory gating—how past pain shapes mental health
🎯 Brainspotting & somatic healing—why your body holds the key to emotional release
🎯 The power of self-discovery—how true healing comes from within
If you’ve ever felt like the standard mental health system doesn’t fully serve you, this episode will open your eyes to a compassionate, science-backed path to real healing.
