Glimmers.... I only recently HEARD this term.
Be on the LOOKOUT for them.....
Here is an article for further reading...
"Trigger" has become a commonplace term in our cultural lexicon, but few people know about the opposite of triggers: glimmers.
Coined by Deb Dana, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in complex trauma, in her 2018 book "The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy," "glimmers" refers to small moments when our biology is in a place of connection or regulation, which cues our nervous system to feel safe or calm.
"We're not talking great, big, expansive experiences of joy or safety or connection," she says. "These are micro moments that begin to shape our system in very gentle ways."
