Teri Anderson was discussing the evolving meanings of certain words and expressions, notably emphasizing the overuse and potentially diminishing impact of terms like "trigger" and "safe spaces." Teri also introduced the concept of "glimmers," contrasting them with triggers as moments that bring joy, peace, or gratitude. This idea seems to be about focusing on positive moments or memories in one's life, offering a counterbalance to negative or triggering experiences.

She shared personal stories about triggers, reliving traumatic events, and the significance of addressing triggering language thoughtfully, especially concerning those actually dealing with trauma versus those just experiencing discomfort.

Additionally, Teri encouraged self-love and kindness and mentioned plans for future discussions on handling memories and their impact.

What IS the difference between true self care and numbing or running? 

Having never being celebrated for me, as a child or as an adult, I've decided to celebrate myself and learn the ins and outs of true self care. 

I'll be in a country far away doing who knows what when this airs. Self care is learned, it's nurtured, it's intentional. It's not escapism, in my opinion, it's celebrating yourself during the times you need it most and in the times of maintenance. It's being self aware, and, I feel, is the beginning of true self love.
