In this sixth episode of The Truth My Body Told, Danielle Bird (Licensed Counselling Therapist & Somatic Attachment Trauma Recovery Coach) responds to a listener question from TikTok:

💬 “What would you recommend to someone who didn't feel love? Are there ways of developing capacity to experience this?” — Yma Tho

With a trauma-informed, attachment-focused lens, Danielle unpacks what it really means to "feel love," why so many survivors confuse pity, loyalty, or codependency with love, and how nervous system repair expands your capacity for genuine intimacy.

🌹 The difference between love, loyalty, compassion, pity, and codependent attachment

🌹 How early models of “love” (enmeshment, fawning, emotional parentification) shape your current capacity to feel

🌹 Why avoidant/anxious or disorganized attachment, shutdown, and functional freeze can make you feel numb or disconnected from love

🌹 How chronic hypervigilance and leaving yourself to manage others’ emotions erodes your sense of self

🌹 The link between intimacy, vulnerability, and nervous system safety

🌹 Why avoidant-leaning folks are often great at big boundaries but struggle with the smaller, moment-to-moment ones

🌹 Bite-sized, practical ways to practice micro boundaries and emotional honesty in real time

🌹 How to use Danielle’s CPR method for emotional processing to de-shame your needs and wounds around love: watch this TikTok to learn how : https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMA3XSDH7/

🌹 Rewiring imprinted, body-based beliefs like “I am too much,” “others will only take from me,” or “I have to be the strong one”

✨ Danielle’s course Create Safety in Your Nervous System ($87) teaches you how to rewire the subconscious, body-based beliefs that keep your nervous system in survival so you can actually feel and receive love. Get the course now here: stan.store/thedaniellebird

🌹 How to name, orient, and reclaim power during a flashback episode

🌹 Somatic techniques for regulating your nervous system when stuck in fight, flight, or freeze

🌹 Inner system soothing and adult self-affirmation practices for integration
