I'm currently on break and won't be able to receive new messages. I hope to be back soon :)

Hi, I'm Oriya, nice to meet you 😊

*Honestly? I don't promise to be a perfect listener and always say the right word, but I promise to try to make you end the conversation feeling better.

*I would be happy if you tell me at the beginning of the conversation what you expect from this conversation. Do you want me to just listen or also ask questions? I'm with you in whatever you choose.

*I know basic English, sometimes I use a translator. I hope there will be no delays in answers. I try to respond as quickly as possible and appreciate your time.

And now you're probably wondering why I chose to be a listener at 7 Cups? :)

*I've been through a lot in my life. I don't remember almost a moment of silence. No, and I wouldn't say I've grown. I've become stronger. I truly believe that it's okay to say it's hard. It's okay not to think. It's okay to feel bad.

*I believe that every person deserves to be truly listened to, without judging him/her. Without advising him/her or correcting him/her. Without doubting him/her too much. Just let him/her choose the pace.

I am not a doctor. I am a person like you who is going through things and I want to do you a little good because if you feel good, I will feel good because of you.

The conversation with me is up to 60 minutes.

Suitable for topics: family stress, grief, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, domestic violence.

I am waiting to talk to you. Take your time without pressure. I am not judging you. I am proud of you for having the courage to come and share and hope we will have a good conversation together.❤

I really like constructive criticism so don't hesitate to give it. I really want to improve my listening skills. Thank you very much :)
