In this episode, we're joined by the brilliant Deb Dana, author of "Anchored" and pioneer in translating polyvagal theory into everyday practice. As the creator of the concept of "glimmers," Deb helps us dive deep into understanding the science of feeling safe enough to celebrate and how our nervous systems shape our experiences. From practical tips on designing moments of happiness to touching stories about co-regulation and connection, this conversation weaves together the science of feeling safe with the art of embracing joy. Whether you're curious about the science behind your feelings or looking for ways to celebrate life's small moments, this episode offers insights about building a more connected, regulated, and joy-filled life.
We talk about…
♥ The basics of Polyvagal Theory (+ our Confetti Theory).
♥ How we can learn to listen to our nervous system's cues.
♥ Glimmers (aka small moments of joy that can help us heal, aka emotional confetti).
♥ How celebration and joy can coexist with our struggles.
