Glimmers Journal - Reflect on...

Deb Dana

From the conceptualizer of glimmers—prompts to help you savor the micromoments of joy and well-being in your day. 
 
 
 
First coined in Deb Dana's book Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, "glimmers" are the micromoments in your day that spark a sense of joy. They can be anything from catching a view of the skyline to cuddling with your pet. Glimmers tell your nervous system that you are safe and okay in the world, thus shifting your system's response from defense to calm. When we notice and name glimmers, we train our nervous system to be open to more of these moments—expanding our overall sense of well-being. 
 
 
 
This beautiful journal provides a framework for listeners to name and savor their glimmers. Expertly crafted prompts encourage listeners to notice various types of glimmers that they might otherwise be unaware of—such as glimmers in nature or in the arts, "every day" glimmers, social glimmers, and even the range of glimmer "flavors." Glimmers Journal is for anyone looking to build a foundation of wellness and regulation.

Complex Ptsd Recovery

Brittany Forrester

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury.PTSD can occur in all people of any ethnicity, nationality, culture, and age. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults every year. An estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear, or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, and they may have strong adverse reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.People with a diagnosis of PTSD are defended and insecure about many things in life. It is essential to create a safe place where people can explore and share their experiences and understand why they are experiencing life as they do to begin the healing process in a therapeutic environment. This book may offer much to promote the healing and growth of those affected by complex trauma.
