Emotion Regulation, Neurodiversity, & Eating Disorders With Jasmine Jaquess, MA, PLPC @black_bold_and_learning

Jasmine is back for the second time! She and I talk about emotion regulation, which is something she specializes in (and even has a workbook for it--see link below!). We also discuss how emotion regulation can look different for people who are neurodivergent and how eating disorder behaviors can serve as survival mechanisms for managing one's emotions.

ABOUT JASMINE JAQUESS, M.A, PLPC

Jasmine is a clinical mental health counselor in the states of Colorado and Missouri. She has a background in sports psychology, trauma, eating disorders, and racial concerns. Jasmine is passionate about learning as much as she can in this life while enjoying the slow and mundane parts of it. Her faith and spirituality are important to her vision and drive in life. Overall, she'd describe herself as the calm friend, a quirky individual, foodie, and someone who's always down to have a good conversation.

 

As Jasmine says, there are so many rules around food and body. It creates so many limitations more than people realize. Suddenly your clothes are too much, food is too much, the way you look is too much, then you start to isolate or demean yourself. It's just a spiral. Rather than people saying "hey, this isn't true or normal," it gets brushed off and we internalize it. Jasmine struggled with that mentality alone for years, and after she was able to recognize there is so much more to life, it helped set her free. As a counselor, she wants to help others get out of their rut.

 

Jasmine has an amazing blog on her website, so check it out! :)
