REMOVING SHAME AND SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS: Your Helpful Guides: Triggers and Glimmers 128

 
 

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 128

As we close out our chapter on removing shame and shedding limiting beliefs, we’ve gotta talk about triggers and glimmers. 

We all know what triggers are. Trigger warning! Painful stuff is coming! Triggers are ways we respond– even in ways we can’t control– to things that bring up past pain. It’s a way our body remembers threats, to try to protect us. 

Glimmers are similar, except instead of remembering pain, our bodies are remembering joy. They are welcoming back beauty and saying, I see you. I remember you. 

The thing is, both triggers and glimmers are good things, because they act as arrows pointing to growth. 

Find out what I mean by that in today’s podcast.

EPISODE 128 TOPICS:

  • The meaning of triggers v. glimmers

  • What happens when you avoid your triggers

  • How triggers and glimmers relate to horticulture, and how you can use them to help with personal growth

REMOVING SHAME AND SHEDDING LIMITING BELIEFS: How Core Wounds Can Unlock Healing 127

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 127. How am I still dealing with these same issues, I wondered. I thought I had looked through everything. I had peeled back layers. I had done some major healing. For a year. 

And that’s when I woke up to the real cause– and purpose– of these wounded cycles we inflict upon ourselves. 

Each of us has some core wounds we internalize in childhood.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 126. Shame and limiting beliefs are like two sides of the same coin. Shame tells us that we are bad and wrong, and often, limiting beliefs can tell us that others are bad and wrong. 

Let me give you an example during today’s podcast.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 125. Like most women throughout history, but even specifically those growing up like I did, in the American south in the last half a century, showing any amount of skin was met with disapproving glares, gossipy whispers, and choruses of “bless her heart.”

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 123. Have you ever been going about your day, doing something totally normal like getting groceries, logging into your email, picking your kids up from school, or going on a hike, and something happens that stops you in your tracks… some little coincidence or a moment of deja vu, or a text from a long lost friend you just had a dream about the night before?

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121. My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there.  Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 120. Sometimes, whether slowly or all at once, you realize that your life is not and will never be what you thought it would be. Even if it is more beautiful than you thought possible, even if you are more fulfilled than you could have imagined, even if you wouldn’t take that first dream life back for all the money in the world, you eventually need to grieve the life you fought so hard for… the life you’ll never have and maybe never had.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 119. I remember when Brian and I moved to Nashville after our year of traveling the country in an Airstream, and I was convinced that putting down new roots in a new city would be the final step in our healing journey. Both individually and together. I thought Brian would finally be able to meet new friends, get excited about getting a job, we could go on dates to places we've never been before, and enjoy the culture of a big city. There was nothing I wouldn’t do to help us move forward. I just didn’t realize at the time that the one thing I couldn’t do was move Brian forward with me. And I tried.
