This Is (Not) About Your BodyEpisode 23: The Glimmer of HopeThis episode is all about Glimmers! You've likely heard of triggers; the thing that yanks you from one moment to another moment in an unpleasant way, and glimmers are the exact opposite. They are the (generally) more gentle tug into a positive moment, a grounded, regulated feeling. These can show up randomly or be touched off by similar stimuli that give you a bubbling feeling of hope and this episode Jessi will discuss them in depth.

A lot of Jessi's clients will express that there's a belief that achieving Body Neutrality will result in a complete lack of response when viewing or thinking about your body. This ends up being a rather unrealistic goal given all the conditioning and Jessi will explain how it's the relationship to those thoughts that come up; not that you won't have any thoughts to begin with.Intro to the 4 Body Image Avatars: https://youtu.be/SsxQ9qO0-a4Get my full...2021-12-1321 min

This could be anything from facial expressions, how we wear our hair, or what kind of car we drive, even beyond the purely visual.

How does "political correctness" factor into this? How does the gender binary impact people's lives directly?

The cultural associations with roles in a sexual space can create tricky dynamics where both you and your partner(s) might suffer feelings of embarrassment or rejection if someone isn't in the mood. The question becomes: what could it mean to measure the security of your relationship where both of you are allowed to be human?

This Is (Not) About Your BodyEpisode 11: The Attack on Health!In this episode Jessi dives into how the socially networked world we live in creates avenues for interaction that sometimes...misses the point, to put it gently. Jessi's work often stirs conversation and with that invariably there's conflict that comes along with it. This is a frank conversation about how topics (particularly fatphobia and weight stigma) might be making (the royal) you defensive.
