Glimmers (with Deb Dana)

In this episode, I sit down with Deb Dana, renowned clinician, author, and expert in Polyvagal Theory, to explore the transformative power of GLIMMERS - those small, everyday moments of safety and connection that help regulate our nervous system. The concept of glimmers has captured the imagination of millions, resonating across social media with over 27 million hashtags on TikTok alone. But why do these fleeting moments of ease hold such profound significance? We discuss how glimmers counterbalance our survival responses, why they matter for healing and resilience, and how we can intentionally cultivate them in our daily lives. Whether you're a mental health professional, someone on a personal healing journey, or simply curious about the science of feeling good, this conversation will leave you with accessible tools to bring more ease and connection into your everyday life.
