Hyper-independence can look like strength.
But often, it’s something the nervous system learned when support didn’t feel safe.
In this episode, we explore hyper-independence as a survival response, how it forms, why it shows up in relationships, and what it quietly costs over time.
If you’ve been carrying everything alone, holding invisible emotional weight, or struggling to ask for help without guilt, you’re not broken.
You adapted.

What is Soul Medicine with Carina Bull?
Hi, I’m Carina Bull, your Intuitive Coach for Spiritual Healing and Transformation. I support sensitive women, like you, who are holding it together on the outside while quietly carrying too much inside, to gently return to themselves.
I see you and feel you because I’ve been there too. It’s why I go beyond surface-level healing. I weave intuitive channelling and claircognizant knowing with tarot, reiki, and grounded coaching tools to guide you with care and intention.
I work with gentle, honest truth. Not to confront or overwhelm, but to help you understand what is really happening beneath the surface, in a way that feels safe and steady.
When you feel ready to go deeper, and you’re looking for an intuitive, empathic guide who understands this terrain from lived experience, I’m here.
Join me each week for soul-deep insights and quiet, truth-telling conversations to support you as you soften, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
I’m here to walk beside you as a steady presence and guide. You’re welcome to move at your own pace.
With love,
Carina 💜
