Jourdan Brickey Self-Reclamation After Survival

When stress becomes chronic, it can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. Therapy can help you understand what's contributing to your stress, establish healthier boundaries, and create a more sustainable way of living.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.

The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
If the Art of Rest has a major specialty, it is by far and away about stress and how the body contextualizes that stress across settings.
Dagny is trained as a research psychologist who spent four years studying the biomedical markers of sleep, mindfulness, and self-compassion —all from the lens of the stress-response and nervous system lens. Dagny understands the ins and outs of what stress is, how our body is impacted by stress, how stress impacts our body, and what to do when things like sleep become elusive, social problems become larger, and anxiety or depression creep in the backdoor. Her tactics range from state-of-the-art stress science that helps pull out different elements of stress-health as well as dives into contemplative practices like dreamwork and behavioral routines around stress and sleep-related anxiety. She is highly successful at helping folks find a restful night and restful life, regardless of how long it's been since they've had one.
