Therapy Corner: Can You Show Your Vulnerability?

As part of our regularly irregular newsletter And What About You?, we occasionally ask questions where you can choose from several possible answers. This allows us to analyze the responses further and reflect on them together.

We deeply value every answer where people let us glimpse into their inner world. In doing so, we collectively help return a sense of humanity to the city. Knowing you’re not alone in your emotions, fears, or even love can be a meaningful companion on the path to self-discovery.

Join us in our new concept And What About You? Therapeutic Corner.

Can you show your vulnerability?

And what does our Kačí have to say about it?

“Vulnerability is not weakness, but courage.
Showing vulnerability takes courage. In my work with clients, I often see people confusing vulnerability with weakness, but in reality, showing vulnerability is one of the greatest expressions of inner strength. It means saying: ‘I made a mistake.’, ‘I need help with this.’ or ‘This is what I truly believe, even though I don’t know how you will react.’

If you struggle with showing your own vulnerability, try starting small. Share what troubles or delights you with someone you trust. You don’t have to open up to everyone. It’s enough to be truthful where it makes sense. Vulnerability isn’t about being exposed — it’s about being authentic. And it is precisely that authenticity that creates closeness between you and the people you care about.”

– Kateřina Moric, co-founder of the project and therapist
