As a qualified psychotherapist she can help you understand why you overthink, struggle with shame and why you’re triggered by that one small comment.
Chapters:
Jessica Summers is a hypno-psychotherapist, nervous system regulation specialist, and creator of RSD Free—the only program that targets Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria at its neurological root. She discovered her breakthrough approach while retraining her own nervous system to recover from post-viral syndrome, which unexpectedly resolved her lifelong RSD. Jessica now helps neurodivergent adults rewire their brains for emotional resilience and calm.
