Flirting with Safety
Manage episode 366689174 series 3472241
What if one person’s safety is another person’s terror? Do we ever feel truly safe or are we always grappling with trauma's deceptive web, clouding our innate sense of security and well-being? This week, Dr. Scott meets with Deb Dana—clinician, consultant, speaker, author and beacon of hope as they navigate the complexities of trauma through the lens of polyvagal theory.
This episode unravels the fascinating rhythm of regulation, busts the myth of 'one size fits all' safety, and offers alternative perspectives for those who find the term 'safety' unsettling. Be ready to meet the 'Godmother of Glimmers' as we venture through danger, safety cues, and the influence of negativity bias on our ability to discern safety. With Deb's guidance, prepare to untangle the knots of hypervigilance and regulation, and comprehend why safety is often mistaken for familiarity.
Topics We Break Down:
- The language of the nervous system.
- Qualifying safety.
- Overcoming negativity bias by recognizing safety cues.
- Regulation vs. hypervigilance
- Why safety and survival can’t coexist.
