Episode 97, Curious Writing Companion No. 2
Maybe you felt:
tightness in your chest, or a lump in your throat
fog, distance, or numbness you can't explain yet
the familiar pull to shrink, perform, or disappear
a quiet recognition of the place you went inside yourself to survive
This companion helps you stay with that moment safely, so you're not rushing to "figure it out." Instead, you practice listening, naming, and giving your inner world a little more room.
As a result, what felt tangled can start to feel clearer, more grounded, and less lonely.
What you'll find inside
Blank pages for writing or drawing, so you can start wherever you are
A short self-check-in, because the body often speaks first
A slow walk onto the forest path, paced to match the episode's feel
A grounding word bank of forest language, for when you don't have words yet
Writing Around the Edges, including a short personal story to help you enter gently
Spacious reflection prompts that invite presence, not performance
Who this is for
Curious Writing Companion No. 2 is for you if:
A moment from the episode stayed with you afterward
You learned to survive by hiding, shrinking, pleasing, or scattering
Want support that feels kind, not pushy
Prefer journaling that includes the body, not just the mind
What it solves for you
This companion helps you:
slow down when your system wants to rush past the feeling
name what's happening without forcing a clean story
build self-trust by listening instead of overriding yourself
create a safer distance from heavy emotions, while still staying connected
turn reflection into relief, because the page can hold what you've been carrying
You can linger, skip around, or come back later. Most importantly, you choose the pace and the distance that feels safe.
The quiet promise
There's no finish line here. Still, every page you meet with honesty is a movement back toward yourself, even if all you write is, "I don't know yet."
