At Listen for a Glimmer Counselling, we aim to aid you in your path towards healing and helping you uncover your true and fully realized self.
In psychology we are familiar with the terminology of a “trigger”, inversely a glimmer is an opposite effect. It is a feeling of safety, joy, or calm that is soothing to the nervous system. It is an extension of Dr. Stephen Porges Poly Vagal Theory, “glimmers” being in opposition to “triggers” was coined by Deb Dana while working in tandem with Dr. Porges.
