Love and Resentment Can Share a Body

You love the people in your life. You can also dread the next request while you’re still clearing up from the last one. Perhaps the resentment catches you by surprise, because you know you care and you’re exhausted by how much you give.

Love and Resentment Can Share a Body helps you say both things out loud. You’ll look at one recurring moment, find the need underneath the strain and ask for a change that might genuinely make daily life easier.

For when care has begun to cost too much

For parents, partners and carers who feel pulled between affection and fatigue. Maybe you manage most of the household, do the invisible emotional work or rarely get an hour without someone needing you. You don’t have to decide whether your love is real before you can take your own limits seriously.

What you'll learn and practise

  • Describe a repeated situation in concrete terms, such as being the last person to finish the evening’s work.
  • Give care and strain a sentence each, without using one to cancel the other.
  • Find the practical need underneath resentment, then separate that need from your first imagined solution.
  • Make a request with a clear task, time and scope, and check whether the burden actually changed.

The course helps you turn “I can’t keep doing everything” into one request another person can understand and respond to.

Twelve short written lessons combine practical examples, a small practice and optional saved reflections. Move at your own pace and return whenever you need to.

The Motherhole

The Motherhole hosts women-only circles at Sensual Institute in Stockholm. These gatherings are for women who want to speak openly about desire, care, ageing and the experiences that rarely have room in everyday conversation. We write, listen and sometimes work with breath, sound or movement. You can share or simply listen. The circles explore three realms: Eros, Mother and Crone. You can find upcoming dates and tickets for these circles in the Sensual Institute events calendar.

Mother

Mother is the realm of care, responsibility and the cost of always being needed. In these women-only circles, we talk openly about motherhood, caring for others and the love, anger, tenderness and grief that can exist at the same time. Your own needs belong here too.
