The Autonomic Nervous System + What is Happening in the Nervous System of Babies & Parents During Sleep Training with Jenna Hamm

In this episode, I'm joined by Jenna Hamm to discuss the stages of the autonomic nervous system and how it works, what is happening to the infant's nervous system during non-responsive sleep training, and what happens to a parent's nervous system during infant distress.  Jenna is a clinical social worker and yoga teacher from Manitoba, Canada. She is trained in Polyvagal Theory, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Internal Family Systems. Jenna also holds a certification in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health.Her private practice is centered around empowerment through education and healing from past events and trauma of all kinds. Jenna's clients experience a creative integration of many modalities to promote the best possible outcomes. She is not interested in providing symptom management but rather, complete healing and the reversal of internal suffering. Jenna works with a diverse client-base with a wide range of histories and related survival strategies. Her approach works with most individuals because of her thorough understanding of human biology, the autonomic nervous system, and the psyche. Jenna strives to teach and inspire everyone to trust in their ability to recover from anything.
