Jennifer plans to explain a little about the brain and vagus nerve and why stimulating it helps to calm our nervous system, which, in turn, benefits executive function. This work was pioneered by Dr. Stephen Porges and Dr. Arielle Schwartz. Jennifer will teach a few vagus nerve exercises that listeners can use right away and throughout their lives. She will describe Brainspotting, which is also referred to as focused mindfulness and explain how it helps clients. She will encourage people to integrate aspects of Brainspotting into their lives as they process their own challenges.
