- 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.

Wow wow wow! 😅🤣 This was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Had no idea Scott Lyons was this funny, but I feel like I should have. 😅 The band, the Teradactal, “Polyamory”😆😂 Dr. Scott, you did not miss! I didn’t think I could love Deb Dana anymore, but watching the two of you felt like having my best friends in my living room. So welcoming to my nervous system. Thank you for this treat after a hard day trying to come out of Dorsal. 🙏🏾🥰
See y’all at band rehearsal!🤘🏾✨😆
Wit AND wisdom 😊 thank you ❤
And also I loved this episode, very soothing and lots to think about. I can do more than troll ^.^
How I enjoyed witnessing and feeling the dynamics between the two of you ♥️ Thats ventral vagus in action - filled with softness and play. Might be the most touching interview, I have heard with Deb Dana. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks love!
Could I be a great blue heron standing in the falls fishing or next to a busy construction site knowing I've been left alone?
managers hate vagal people, I always tried to be vagal inside but appear fearful because they think that is attentive...after years it has
backfired
how do I continue manual labor when dizziness strikes and I must keep moving and being accurate? I am practicing shopping at Walmart, but I get disoriented and I walk away without paying twice now. I am afraid to get arrested now. Dorsal feels safer...and art finds me
