Therapist and energy worker Jess Ryan bridges science and spirituality, revealing why healing isn't just personal—it's cultural, relational, and embodied. From chronic pain that Western medicine couldn't fully address to doctoral research on healing as public practice, Jess explores nervous system regulation, spiritual bypassing, and why rest should be a civic concern. Discover how talk therapy misses what the body knows, why collective fatigue signals consciousness shifts, and how co-regulation works through sympathetic resonance. A profound conversation about trauma healing, somatic wisdom, and supporting "big spirits navigating life on Earth" through liminal spaces and threshold moments.
Topics: nervous system regulation, somatic healing, trauma therapy, energy work, collective healing, spiritual bypassing, polyvagal theory, embodiment, liminal space, IFS therapy, Reiki, highly sensitive people, empaths, public humanities, rest as resistance
