“When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.”

- Barbara Bloom

Hi there. My name is RachelZen, and I'm a trained active listener on 7 Cups of Tea. I have always been a very intuitive person, but I have also been through quite a lot in my life, including 20+ years of therapy. My areas of specialty are borderline personality disorder, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety. I've also been through divorce, have a child with special needs and deal with chronic Lyme disease.

But most importantly, I'm a person who cares very deeply about others, and I'm here just to lend an ear - or a virtual shoulder to cry on. It may not be easy, but it can get better.
