A story about love, trust, and becoming.
Eros & Psyche
The Myth
Psyche was known for her beauty, but beauty alone didn’t bring her belonging.
She was loved from afar, admired—but not truly met.
Eros came to her in the dark, asking for trust without sight.
And for a while, she gave it.
But doubt crept in, as it does.
She reached for certainty, and in doing so, lost him.
What followed wasn’t a simple reunion.
It was a journey.
She was given impossible tasks—
to sort what felt unsortable,
to gather what seemed out of reach,
to descend into the underworld and return.
And somehow, she did.
Not because she was perfect,
but because she kept going.
And in the end, she and Eros found each other again—
not in innocence, but in transformation.
The Meaning
Psyche’s story isn’t really about proving she was worthy of love.
It’s about becoming someone who could stay with it.
Her descent, her doubt, her persistence—
these are human experiences.
We all reach for certainty.
We all lose connection at times.
We all face moments that ask more of us than we feel ready for.
And still—there is something in us that continues.
The work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to yourself with more capacity, more awareness, more care.
So that love—connection, intimacy, truth—
has somewhere to land.
Why I chose this name
Eros (desire) & Psyche (soul/mind)
I chose the name Eros & Psyche because this story holds something I see every day in this work.
Not perfection, but process.
Not instant clarity, but gradual unfolding.
The courage to stay.
The willingness to feel.
The quiet, steady return to connection.
