To feel the pain is to create new memories of love
We spend our lives trying to escape the pain. Busying ourselves. Distracting ourselves. Numbing ourselves. But the pain doesn't go away just because you don't look at it. It stays there. Stored in the body. Waiting for the moment to be felt. And when it appears, it feels too heavy. "What if I can't handle it?" "What if it's [...]
Do you feel like you repeat the same patterns?
Have you ever noticed that you're living the same story... again? Even if the person is different. Even if you swear it will be different this time. But, little by little, the same pains reappear. The same insecurity. The same doubt. The same feeling of abandonment. And then comes the exhaustion. The frustration. And the thought: "The […]
Maybe you think the problem is you
You know this relationship hurts you. You know something's not right. And yet... you can't leave. And then the guilt sets in. You start to think that maybe the problem is you. That you're being weak. That you're failing because you can't put an end to it. But is it really "weakness"? Or [...]
When everything falls apart: the body as a safe place
There are times in life when everything seems to fall apart at once. Home, work, relationships, emotional health… everything becomes a mix of confusion, fear, and exhaustion. At these times, it's common to try to rationally understand what's happening. Search for quick solutions. Force answers. Or even blame yourself for not being able to cope. […]
Shame: the wound that makes us hide who we are
Shame is one of the most silent and profound emotional wounds. It makes us believe there's something wrong with us. That we're inadequate, insufficient, or even unworthy of love. It manifests itself in the body as a desire to shrink. In our eyes, as difficulty maintaining eye contact. In relationships, as fear […]
Fear, stress and anxiety: when the body goes into alert and can't get out
Anxiety isn't always just a mental problem. More often than not, it's a reflection of a body that's spent too much time on high alert. When you feel like you need to be constantly prepared for the worst... When resting seems dangerous... When your heart races and your thoughts race... It's [...]
The Pain of Not Being Chosen: The Abandonment That Shapes Our Bonds
Being left out. Not being a priority. Always being second choice. Not feeling seen. Many people carry this silent pain of not being chosen—by parents, partners, friends. And the effect of this goes far beyond sadness. This experience creates an internal pattern: the belief that, to deserve […]
You no longer need to beg for love, attention or care
When we grow up afraid of losing affection, we end up creating invisible strategies to ensure the other person stays. We say yes when we mean no. We silence our pain so as not to disturb. We accept crumbs of attention thinking it's enough. This cycle of begging for love can repeat itself in friendships, romantic relationships, and even in […]
Couples in silence: when love doesn't end, but communication does
Not every relationship ends with a big fight. Sometimes, what ends is the conversation. The look. The interest in knowing how the other person is doing. Couples in silence spend every day together… but without any real presence. They exchange basic information, avoid difficult conversations, and gradually drift apart, until they become almost strangers […]
The Man Who Freezes: What's Behind the Indifference
On the outside, he appears calm, practical, even indifferent. But inside, his body is on constant alert, trying to survive the discomfort of feeling. Many men have learned that emotion is weakness. That feeling is dangerous. So, when life touches places of pain, they shut down. They stop talking. They stop looking people in the eye. If […]
