Many of us learned that caring for ourselves was selfish—but from a trauma-informed perspective, self-love is how the nervous system finds safety.

Being your own best friend looks like listening to your body, resting without shame, allowing emotions without judgment, and offering yourself the same compassion you give others.

When you create internal safety, relationships no longer have to be driven by proving, fixing, or earning love.

Self-love isn’t isolation—it’s what makes healthy, mutual connection possible.

👉 Save this as a reminder to listen to your body

👉 Share it with someone learning to soften toward themselves

This month, remember: Love isn’t just a feeling.

It’s a nervous system experience.
The way you love…
the way you protect…
the way your body reacts before your mind catches up…
all of it makes sense when you understand what your nervous system learned.

Your patterns are not flaws.
They are survival strategies shaped by experience.

Healing doesn’t happen by overriding your body or pushing through discomfort.
It happens when you slow down enough to listen—
to notice hunger, tension, exhaustion, emotions, and needs
without shame or urgency.

Love grows when the body feels safe:
Safety without performance
Boundaries without abandonment
Repair without punishment

This February, let love be less about doing more
and more about being with—
with your body, your children, your relationships, and yourself.
Small moments of safety matter.
Repetition matters.
Gentleness matters.
You are not behind.

Your nervous system is learning

Your child’s behavior isn’t random—it’s communication from their nervous system.

💛 When we understand how our kids receive love, connection gets easier and power struggles soften. Love languages aren’t just relational—they’re regulatory.

Words, time, touch, help, and thoughtful gestures all communicate safety in different ways. And presence doesn’t mean doing more—it means slowing down, making eye contact, and choosing connection before correction. When children feel emotionally seen, their nervous systems learn safety—and safety is the foundation for secure attachment.

Your relationship patterns didn’t come from nowhere.
They were ways your nervous system learned to keep you safe.
You’re not broken—you adapted.
And healing begins with compassion, not criticism.

Trauma isn’t about what happened… It’s about what the nervous system learned.

Your body is always trying to protect you.

When something overwhelms your capacity, the nervous system adapts… through patterns of hypervigilance, shutdown, people-pleasing, or numbness… not because you’re broken, but because you survived!

Healing isn’t about retelling the story louder or “thinking differently.”

It’s about helping the nervous system experience safety again, so it can update what it learned back then and recognize that now is different.

When the body learns safety, the story changes on its own.

Love isn’t just something we feel—it’s something our nervous system experiences. When the body feels safe, connection feels open and steady. When the body feels threatened, love can feel urgent, distant, or confusing. Tightness, anxiety, shutdown, or the urge to fix aren’t flaws—they’re protective, body-based responses shaped by experience. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to love differently; it’s about helping your body learn that safety, boundaries, and repair are possible now. Over time, love stops feeling like survival and starts feeling like home. 🤍

A few mornings ago I realized something.

I can teach nervous system regulation all day long…
but if I’m not living it, I’m disconnected from the very thing I’m inviting others into.

That’s why my word for 2026 is EMBODIED.
Not more productive.
Not more hustling.
More present.

And I know I’m not the only one who feels how heavy the world is right now. So many nervous systems running on high alert. So much uncertainty. So much bracing.

Embodiment isn’t indulgent.
It’s essential.

If you’re wanting more presence in your daily life, I created a free Grounding Exercises PDF with simple, practical tools you can use anytime.

➡️ Comment GROUND and I’ll send it to you.

And if you’re an EMDR therapist wanting to move from protocol-driven work into truly body-informed, nervous-system-attuned practice…

My small beta cohort of EMBODIED: Somatic Integration for EMDR Therapists begins February 20th. I’m infusing all my training in somatic psychology into the 8 phases of EMDR.

Limited spots.
Deep work.
True integration.

➡️ Comment EMBODIED or DM me to learn more.
Let’s make 2026 the year we actually live, work and play in deep meaningful ways.

With you in this,

🤍 Myra

Your nervous system learned love long before you had words for it.

Before memory.
Before choice.
Before you could explain what you needed.
Through tone, touch, consistency, and repair, your body learned whether closeness felt safe… or something to brace for.

If you notice patterns in how you love… pulling away, people-pleasing, staying alert, needing reassurance… they aren’t flaws.

They’re protective adaptations your nervous system developed to survive connection.

Healing doesn’t begin with fixing yourself.
It begins with understanding what your body learned—and offering it safety now.

Save this if it resonates
Share it with someone whose patterns deserve compassion, not shame.

Many adult relationship patterns aren’t personality flaws—they’re nervous system responses shaped by early attachment.

If you notice people-pleasing, over-functioning, pulling away when things get close, or constantly scanning for rejection, your body wasn’t “getting it wrong.”

These patterns once helped you stay connected, stay safe, and stay regulated. They were intelligent adaptations to the environment you were in. Shame doesn’t heal attachment wounds—safety does.

When we meet our patterns with curiosity instead of judgment, they stop needing to protect us so loudly. Your patterns aren’t the problem. They’re the doorway to healing.
