Soft Hearts
You've always felt like your emotions are too much, whether they're too intense, too overwhelming, or just too hard to trust. To everyone else, you might come across as self-aware, chill, and hilarious, but inside, you sense a disconnect from your full self.

Maybe you’ve used humor to downplay painful or traumatic moments, adopting a “it builds character” attitude. But deep down, you know those experiences still affect your life, creating a gap between a healthy relationship with yourself and how you relate to others. As this disconnect becomes harder to ignore, the idea of truly feeling and processing everything can feel overwhelming, especially after all the effort you’ve put into keeping things under control for so long.

Those Struggling to Feel at Home in Their Own Body

You might find it hard to feel at home in your own body, like it’s a place that doesn’t quite belong to you. Trauma, especially sexual or relational, can make your body feel unsafe or uncomfortable, and everyday pressures around body image and food only add to the challenge.

Connecting with and respecting your body is tough when it’s been a source of pain or shame. To cope, you might emotionally disconnect from your body, a strategy that’s served you in the past but now feels like it’s keeping you from building a loving, connected relationship with the space that is fundamentally yours. You know the importance of loving your body and believe this for others but finding that same comfort and connection within yourself remains elusive.

ADHD Girlies Who Struggle with Self-Compassion

If you have ADHD, your emotions might feel big, like everything hits harder and lingers longer. You might believe that if you’re not hard on yourself, you’ll never get anything done.

But even with all that pressure, it still stings when you misplace something, mess up, or run late. It’s not the executive functioning stuff that’s bringing you here—you’re used to that. It’s those painful things you say to yourself when things don’t go right. Maybe the question, “Why can’t I just get this right?” feels all too familiar, leaving you feeling off balance and wishing you could be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.
