The Glimmer Effect - Scripting Moments of Stability

Triggers can be a confusing word. At its heart, triggers are reactions to past trauma. They are not just about remembering past pain, but reexperiencing past pain as if it were happening in the present. But what do we do when we are triggered? Although there are no skills that can make a person stop themselves from ever being triggered again, there are skills that allow us to cope until we are less disarmed them and by the painful memories they bring up in us.

One of these coping skills is incorporating something called "glimmers" (the opposite of triggers) into your daily routine. In this episode, we re-released a recent episode from our podcast producer Taylor's own podcast Faith & Feelings. She explains three practical strategies for coping with triggers, unpacks what "glimmers" are, and highlights why practices like these are critical for spiritual and emotional health.
