In this fourth 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 are the very first steps to acknowledging layered trauma and attachment wounds if you've spent your entire life suppressing it in survival mode?"
With her Radical Rebirth™ framework, somatic tools, and trauma-informed attachment approach, Danielle explores:
🌹 Why denial is a survival strategy and how it connects to the grief cycle (denial, bargaining, anger, depression, acceptance)
🌹 How the psyche protects itself through shutdown, numbness, or hypervigilance when it doesn’t have the resources to process
🌹 The layers beneath survival mode: unprocessed emotions, belief wounds, unmet needs, and subconscious comfort zones
🌹 Step #1: Creating nervous system safety by rewiring attention toward neutral or pleasurable states and de-shaming survival strategies
🌹 Step #2: Building your “spider web” of connection through safe-enough relationships, archetypes, and your future self
🌹 Step #3: Meeting triggered states with compassion, titration, and relational repair between your adult self and protective parts
🌹 Why subconscious rewiring is essential for long-term trauma and attachment recovery—and how your reticular activating system (“razzle-dazzle”) filters your daily experience based on subconscious programming
