Jayne M. Wesler has played many roles in her life. She is an author, coach, speaker, licensed clinical social worker, and attorney. From the newsroom to the intense hush of psychotherapy sessions in various venues, including a locked psychiatric unit in a large urban hospital, to trying cases in courtrooms in Newark, Trenton, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, Ms Wesler has been both witness to, and actor in, the most intense of human dramas. Trained by experts at GCU and NYU to use her emotions as a tool, Ms. Wesler is able to tap into human experience to help educate and heal others. Jayne is the author of Hurts So Good An Orgasm of Tears. In this riveting expose, Ms. Wesler illuminates the parallels between orgasm and emotional tears, thereby demonstrating a biological legitimacy to the need for a good cry. Just as sex is the all-time, one-and-only treatment for epididymal hypertension, commonly known as “Blue Balls,” a good cry is the only remedy for a frustrated and achy soul—a Blue Heart. Jayne wrote a companion workbook to the Tears book entitled Hurts So Good An Orgasm of Tears Workbook. The workbook will help you break through the protective shell that forms over your heart as you navigate the busy chaos of daily life. In the workbook, you will find thought-provoking exercises designed to pierce that protective shell, to reach your rich and lively emotions, and to re-kindle the fires that lie banked within your soul. Jayne is the also author of Handbook for Parents of Children with Special Needs: A Therapeutic and Legal Approach. Lauded by experts, this easy-to-read guide is an essential blueprint to navigating the sometimes tumultuous waters of special education. Ms. Wesler is a partner in the law firm of Sussan Greenwald and Wesler, and for decades has helped students with disabilities obtain the kind of educational programming that helps them achieve success. As a university student, Ms. Wesler worked as a journalist and has always been a writer at heart. While in training to become a psychotherapist, a mentor told Ms. Wesler that she carried “a lot of emotion.” This has proven to be both an advantage and a disadvantage, but in her training, Ms. Wesler has used her own emotions as a powerful tool to help others. For many years, Ms. Wesler has seen society equate women and femininity with weakness. This has been particularly galling for her as she comes from a long line of strong women, has withstood many significant challenges in her own life, and has successfully overcome them. She knows in a very personal way the strength that underlies emotional tears. As a psychotherapist, Ms. Wesler has worked with adults, teens, and children in various settings, including both inpatient and outpatient, individual and group therapy. As a member of multiple Child Study Teams, Ms. Wesler conducted evaluations, wrote IEP’s, case-managed elementary students, high-school students, and students placed in specialized private school programs. She also developed and facilitated various psychotherapy groups. Early in her legal career, Ms. Wesler practiced at a large New Jersey law firm where she founded the Special Education Law Section. Earlier, she served as a judicial clerk to the Hon. Clarkson S. Fisher Jr., then presiding judge of the Chancery Division for the Superior Court of Monmouth County, New Jersey. Ms. Wesler also served as a law clerk for the Monmouth County, New Jersey, Prosecutor’s Office, Appellate Division, where she did a special research project for the Monmouth County Prosecutor regarding the prosecution of cases involving repressed memory of sexual abuse. As a licensed clinical social worker and an attorney, Ms. Wesler is experienced in the fields of special education, mental health, and psychotherapy. Ms. Wesler has presented continuing education workshops on various topics in the fields of law and mental health, including IDEIA, Section 504 plans, and the discipline of students with disabilities. She has written a scholarly paper on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and a study in conjunction with the Hon. Thomas N. Lyon, Judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County, concerning the proper treatment of cases involving litigants with mental illness. Ms. Wesler earned her Juris Doctor degree from Seton Hall University School of Law; her M.S.W. degree from New York University School of Social Work in New York City; and her B.S.W. degree, summa cum laude, from Georgian Court University. She is admitted to practice in New Jersey, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. In her spare time, Ms. Wesler enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, working out, reading, traveling, and cooking.
