Listen Later

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

💬 “So how do you manage flashbacks?” — @katiatells

💬 “Are there any books we can read to understand emotional flashbacks and how to catch them better?” — @ytniado

With her Flashback (Flooding) Management Guide, Danielle explains how to move through emotional flashbacks using trauma-informed, body-based steps that help you reorient to safety and self-trust.

🌹 What flashbacks really are - why they’re body memories, not “overreactions”

🌹 The difference between emotional flashbacks and regular triggers

🌹 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

🌹 Why harm reduction (not perfectionism) is key to nervous system repair

🌹 How to meet flashbacks with curiosity instead of shame

✨ Danielle’s upcoming course Create Safety in Your Nervous System ($87) will teach you how to rewire the subconscious body-based beliefs that cause recurring flashbacks. Join the waitlist here: https://www.daniellebird.com/
