grace or wok skills

i entered my attic bedroom and a large shaven headed man was there sitting on the edge of the bed. it used to be his room and his family still lived in the house below. gone for many years and seldom mentioned, i had assumed he was dead

the skin on his face was interrupted by a pattern, a harlequin of broken glass, with large shards painted to look like skin but not. i couldn't tell what was concealed under the paint

he asked me if they would be able to tell and i had to tell him yes and he wept

List of Comforting Things - Part III ✨️

The sound of crunchy leaves under your feet.

That first autumn wind.

Your first sip of your favorite drink in the morning.

The warm feeling of dry clothes just pulled out of the dryer.

The build-up before your favorite chorus is sung.

Really soft and huggable plushies.

The cool feeling of silk sheets.

Knowing you have a few extra hours before you have to leave.

Watching the wick of a candle grow a alittle flame when you light it.

The striking of a match and the sound it makes.

The few seconds of a nice warm shower after you have stepped in.

The sound of an acoustic guitar or any string instrument.

Clean clothes.

Cold water after have been outside in the heat.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you 💖

Things in miniature or travel size

Baking for other people (and when I get requested to make a certain thing, even better)

Seeing actors in period costume interacting with modern objects (the MacBook photo from the Marie Antoinette set comes to mind)

My granny's trifle at Xmas

Cherry blossom season, there's so many trees near my house & my granny's house.

🥰🥰🥰

Lol glad my ‘dear friend’ decided to join in on the fun! I honestly don’t really know what to say other than welcome to the chaos!

(Also maybe you’d like to rant or infodump about something? :>)

Hope everyone’s having a good day/night/whatever!! \o/

-Curious Anon

Ps. Spoke w/ her and she thinks she likes the name ‘Misty Anon’ so I shall refer to her as such!

P.p.s. Finally decided to start using COLOUR

Ahhhh, colours are appreciated, help with reading & look neat !

I'm glad she jumped in & 'Misty Anon' sounds lovely ! It shall provide.

Another infodump? COWABUNGA! ✨️

I shall begin:

Yesterday I learned about

✨️💜 GLIMMERS 💜✨️

A glimmer is "a satisfying sensory delight that fills someone with fervent ecstasy." (Bec Secombe, 2022)

It is the opposite of a trigger :a stimulus perceived as threatening & unsafe.

A ✨️glimmer✨️ is a source of endless wonder & fascination.

Important: As an autistic, I can only give examples from the autistic perspective. Yours might differ. /g

The term was coined by Deb Dana, an LCSW working with trauma.

She collaborated with Dr. Porges & helped to translate his Polyvagal Theory for practical uses.

Dr. Porges identified a hierarchy of autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses that developed as a result of our own evolution. (He speaks about humans, yet as a muntant, I will adapt this.)

The autonomic ladder is a representation of neural defensive processes that automatically come online in an attempt to protect us.

I hope the graphic speaks for itself:

Triggers & Glimmers are the actual events that move us up & down this autonomic ladder.

Due to practice & mindfulness, we can learn to bring our attention to what is happening inside our bodies, in the environment, & in our relationships that set autonomic state shifts in motion.

TRIGGERS can move us down the ladder through an interaction or because of disappointments, as well as fear & anxiety. In the worst case they can lead into a shutdown or meltdown, as well as burnout.

When we experience a trigger a negative thought or “story” tends to go along with it & triggers are usually the easiest to identify.

GLIMMERS: create the neuroception of safety & the possibility of relaxing into moments of connection.

When we can connect to ourselves, others, and the environment, we are available and open to experiences, interactions, or resources that calm us and help us feel secure.

They are the most challenging to recognize because the autonomic responses felt during a glimmering moment are nuanced & subtle & therefore easy to miss: the negatives are easier to spot than the positives, aren't they?

So, we want to bring attention to how our body responds and note the physical reactions & behaviors that accompany it.

Glimmers can help calm a nervous system that is in survival mode & bring a return of autonomic regulation & therefore us in a state of overall well-being.

And it needs to be added, that bringing attention to our glimmers is NOT negating the suffering we experience with triggers, such as sensory experiences or trauma triggers.

A strengths-based perspective reminds us that well-being is NOT simply the absence of problems, it is also about the presence of strengths.

Also: Glimmers don't have to be something big & they don't have to make sense to anyone else but you.

Some of my ✨️💜Glimmers💜✨️ are:

Watching the night sky 🌌

Watching Jupiter Jim with my family ❤️

Listening to my favourite song 🎶

Seeing any hint of my SPINs randomly somewhere 🔥

I hope you enjoyed! If you want, reblog with your
