the questions we ask you — in your own words
For you · held in confidence
Take your time with this. Answer what feels true, and skip anything you’d rather not — nothing here is shared, and none of it is ever public. There are no wrong answers; the first thing that comes is usually the truest. When you reach the end, tap send and your reading is on its way.
This is a soul reading, offered for meaning and dignity. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional or crisis support. Nothing here is a diagnosis, and none of it says anything about who you are. You never have to be further along than you are to be worthy of support.
You do not have to say what happened. You do not have to give your name. You can ask one question and nothing more. You can hang up. Not having the words is not a reason to wait — the people who answer these lines have never once needed you to find them first.
If one line does not answer, try the next. Helplines are underfunded and they do go quiet — that is never a sign that no one is there for you. It only means try another door, and there is always another door.
And one thing about the body. This reading treats your body as something that carries meaning, and it does. But exhaustion, restless nights, a tightness in the chest — those are also how ordinary things speak: the thyroid, the iron in your blood, the way you breathe at night. Let a doctor look at those too. Not instead of anything you have read here. Alongside it.
The real details, so the reading is built on your actual chart and numbers. Your name at birth, the name you carry now, and the name you’d like to be called all shape it — and it will call you by that last one throughout. A made-up name or date makes it inaccurate, so these are needed. Everything is held privately, disconnected from anything public.
This round is about your situation as it actually is today — not to fix or judge it, only so the reading meets you where you truly are. The most exposing questions here are yours to skip: nothing is ever shared, and none of it names him. Answer what you can; leave what you can’t.
Which of these comes closest to your situation? (skip if you’d rather)
Where are you with it?
How long has this been going on?
When you think about leaving, what holds you back? (tick what resonates)
Does anyone else know about this relationship? (tick what resonates)
Think about the people who shaped you most — your affair partner, a significant past partner, your father, your mother, and one more who mattered. For each, name three traits you admired or appreciated, and three you found difficult or challenging — in your own words. You’re not scoring anyone; you’re introducing us to the people who have played a meaningful role in your life.
Need a nudge? A few words others have reached for — though your own are always better, so treat this only as a spark, not a list to pick from: warm, kind, generous, affectionate, playful, attentive, present, reliable, steady, patient, protective, encouraging, calm, honest, emotionally available — distant, critical, absent, emotionally unavailable, controlling, dominant, dismissive, withdrawn, self-focused, hard to please, quick to anger, jealous, secretive, unpredictable, hot-and-cold, inconsistent, needs admiration.

Your father
Your mother
Someone else who shaped you (name them, if you like)
The first woman you ever watched be a woman was your mother. This round is about her, and about the world you grew up inside — not to blame anyone, only to understand where you come from. Answer gently, and without judgment.
Was your mother any of these? (tick what fits)
And growing up, when you were crying, what usually happened?

A few small things — tick what’s true of you.
The body keeps the score before the mind admits it — and it’s where a great deal of this lives.
And sometimes, under stress…
And when discomfort builds up…
When something is left unresolved — a conflict that never repairs, a question that never gets answered — the feeling… (tick what resonates)
When you feel hurt, disappointed, uncertain, misunderstood, rejected, or afraid of losing someone you love — what do you naturally find yourself doing? These come in a few flavors; tick what feels honest in each.
In the moment, I might…
Or I might…
Inside, I might…
My mind might…
Or I might pull the other way…
During a conflict — opposing decisions, opposing opinions, or a conversation that never quite leads to repair — which of these feels closest? (tick what resonates)
And afterwards, I’m usually left feeling…
When someone asks “what would you like?” — what happens inside you? (tick what resonates)
Do any of these feel familiar?

The last round reaches for what sits underneath it all — the beliefs about love and about yourself you may never have said out loud, and the one thing you’d most want this reading to answer. The written lines are yours to fill or skip; the first thing that comes is usually the truest.
Finish these without overthinking — the first thing that comes. (all optional)
And a few about how you feel — fill any that fit.
When life feels difficult, I tend to believe…
