About The Brain-Gut Connection Webinar Series ⤵️
After twenty years of working in private practice with patients who have a wide range of gut-brain (and other mind-body) disorders, Dr. Franklin has a solid understanding about how healing happens and how to facilitate it psychotherapeutically. She is ready and eager to share what she knows with you!
Learning how to heal your gut and body starts with an understanding of the role your nervous system, especially your Autonomic Nervous System, plays in the generation, perpetuation, and exacerbation of digestive and other symptoms. The five-part Brain-Gut Connection Webinar Series offers you (and your loved ones) an education in the mind-gut/body connection based on clinically-sound information presented through the lens of Polyvagal Theory. This is the essential information Dr. Franklin wishes she had had back when she was suffering from IBS.
About me ⤵️
I'm Dr. Jennifer Franklin, a somatically-oriented, mindfulness-based psychologist offering therapy, teletherapy, and consultation with a specialization in healing functional medical problems – especially brain-gut disorders. I focus on healing "medically unexplained" physiological problems in conjunction with addressing symptoms of anxiety, panic, interpersonal relationships, attachment, and trauma. I have experience working closely with leading physicians and researchers at one of the country's premier medical centers for treating brain-gut disorders, after having healed and recovered from IBS myself.
About brain-gut disorders ⤵️
Brain-gut disorders, also known as functional gastrointestinal problems, refers to a variety of digestive problems that are "medically unexplained." The most common brain-gut disorder is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but there are other lesser-known diagnoses like functional dyspepsia, cyclic vomiting, regurgitation, reflux, and others. Brain-gut digestive problems are not purely physiological in nature; they are generated, perpetuated, and/or exacerbated by the interactivity between the brain and gut.
The complexity of your gut makes healing from IBS and other brain-gut disorders a challenging, intricate process. While there are medications and diets to manage or ameliorate certain symptoms, physicians are typically unable to fix or cure brain-gut digestive problems because they are unable to determine a clear physiological cause. Your psychology and your nervous system have a lot to do with it.
When I started this work, the medical community insisted that stress has nothing to do with digestive problems. Today, it is well-accepted that there is a relationship between stress, trauma, and digestive symptoms. Reducing stress by avoiding stress is not a realistic approach. I have a better one: Regulate your nervous system and increase your capacity for living in the high-stress, fast-paced world in which we live.
