What is this book?
Unspoken Weight: Quiet Letters for the Anxious Heart is not a self-help manual.
It’s a tender, poetic, and therapeutic experience designed to hold you when everything feels too much.
Written by psychotherapist psychoanalyst Paula Miles, this 200-page book offers soul-level support through fragments of truth, letters of comfort, trauma-informed prompts, and rituals that help you slow down, feel deeply, and finally, breathe.
Who is this book for?
- The woman who’s silently suffering from burnout but still shows up at work like everything’s fine.
- The high-achiever who overthinks every email, every interaction, every decision.
- The one crying in the bathroom between meetings, telling herself she’s being dramatic.
- The sensitive soul who’s tired of pretending she’s okay when she’s not.
- The perfectionist. The good girl. The one who always holds it together.
- Anyone who’s ever been told to 'calm down' or 'just be more confident.'
- Anyone who has ever felt broken, behind, invisible, or too much.
- Anyone navigating anxiety, rejection, heartbreak, grief, or imposter syndrome.
What makes this book different?
Most self-help books are written from a place of trying to fix you. This book was written from the place where you already feel broken—so you don’t have to pretend you’re not. It doesn’t rush you into recovery. It doesn’t overwhelm you with clinical language. And it never shames you for how you feel.
Instead, it sits beside you in the mess. It mirrors your quiet pain. It says what you’ve never had permission to say out loud. And then, gently, it begins to guide you back to yourself—through soft truths, ritual, reflection, and reframing.
What you’ll find inside:
• Over 50 quiet therapeutic letters to the parts of you that feel unseen
• 40+ poetic fragments about anxiety, burnout, grief, comparison, and heartbreak
• More than 20 trauma-informed reflection prompts that invite deep self-inquiry
• Rituals for grounding, emotional regulation, and nervous system holding
• Printable permission slips, check-ins, and gentle reminders
• A tone that feels like being held, not corrected
