## Resource

This week’s sessions echoed a deep tension: the fear that our needs might push others away. Clients shared how quickly self-doubt or shame can take over, especially when trying to navigate closeness without losing themselves. But again and again, we saw how slowing down created room for clarity. Shame softened. Breath returned. And the voice that says “you’'re too much” was met with something quieter: “you’re here.” Just that. Body awareness, internal dialogues, and visual imagery helped surface truths that had been buried under urgency. And many discovered that wanting closeness doesn’t have to mean collapse. Which of these themes speaks to you most right now? Share your thoughts below. This is a public episode.
