Feeling Loved vs. Feeling Wanted
The somatic difference between connection and depletion Even with the most loving parents, many of us grew up feeling… unwanted. Not because we weren’t loved. But because that love wasn’t always expressed in ways our nervous systems could register as safety, as warmth, as belonging.
