Episode 65: Triggers, Glimmers and Our Nervous System with Bethany Hanman
About this episode
Triggers are something many of us have heard about — moments when our nervous system reacts strongly to something in our environment. But what about the opposite of triggers?
In this episode, we’re talking about glimmers — small, often overlooked moments that signal safety to our nervous system.
Bethany returns to explore what actually happens in the body when we get triggered, why some experiences affect us more than others, and how learning to notice glimmers can help regulate our nervous system and bring more moments of calm into our daily lives.
We discuss the connection between triggers and glimmers, why our brains are wired to notice threats more easily than safety, and simple ways to start identifying the small cues of safety that already exist around us.
