Kelsey explains concepts like interoception, neuroception, and the roles of various parts of self, introducing therapeutic techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). The discussion also addresses how diet culture impacts individuals, especially children, and emphasizes the importance of open communication and fostering a healthy environment both for oneself and for youth.
