In my work — and in my own life — I’ve seen how much love lives inside each of us. Not the surface-level affection. But that deep, bone-deep tenderness. The kind of love that aches. That wants to hold. That wants to stay.
And yet, most of us are terrified of that depth. Because somewhere along the way, that part of us was wounded. Judged. Shamed. Told it was “too much,” “too intense,” “too needy.”
So, we did what we had to do. We tucked it away. We learned to keep our love small. To ration our tenderness. To not text first. To not express how much we cared. To act indifferent when our hearts were anything but.
I did this for years. I convinced myself it was safer to stay distant than risk being rejected for how deeply I felt. I wore detachment like armour. Told myself it made me strong. But really — it made me lonely.
Healing cracked that open for me. It made me sit with the parts of myself I’d abandoned in the name of survival. It made me realise I wasn’t “too much” — I was too hurt, too unheld, too unseen for too long.
And when I stopped apologising for my tenderness… When I let myself feel deeply without shame… Relationships became lighter. Conversations deepened. The love I was chasing outside finally rooted inside me.
It wasn’t always easy. It meant unlearning everything I believed about how love is supposed to look. It meant holding space for my grief, my unmet needs, my patterns of shrinking.
But it gave me back to myself.
If this stirs something in you — if you’ve spent years hiding your tenderness just to feel safe — know this: you don’t have to live like that. This is the work I hold space for in my 1:1 healing journeys (12 or 24 sessions).
To help you untangle the old stories. To meet the parts of you that mistake silence for strength. To reclaim the kind of love that feels like home — inside you, first.
