In this episode of Flip Your Mindset, I sit down with Jessica Parente, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, somatic trauma-informed coach, and Level 4 brainspotting practitioner. Jessica shares her personal journey through trauma, grief, burnout, and narcissistic abuse—and how she found healing through somatic work and nervous system repair.
We dive deep into the concept of functional freeze, the limitations of traditional therapy, and how brainspotting allows the body to release trauma when it finally feels safe. This is a powerful conversation for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode, even while “functioning” on the outside.
🎧 Topics we cover:
Functional freeze vs. high-functioning anxiety
The difference between pathologizing and non-pathologizing therapy
What brainspotting is and how it heals trauma at the body level
How trauma shows up in the nervous system, not just the mind
Why healing doesn’t happen through logic alone
🧠 “There’s no mantra in the world strong enough to override a trauma response that’s protecting you.” — Jessica Parente
If you’ve tried therapy but still feel stuck, this episode is your invitation to explore a deeper path to healing.
