Bio
Hi! My name is Will (he/they) and I'm really glad that you've found me here on 7 Cups. I know how hard opening up to people can be firsthand, so I'm glad you're taking a step in the right direction.
About Me: I am an undergraduate student studying neuroscience. I use my own lived experience to guide my knowledge but stay up to date on psychological literature. I am a Dissociative Disorders Discussion Host (check the discussion schedule out here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/General_2433/ScheduleDiscussionsoftheTraumaSubCommunity_302437/) and currently try to focus my chats on those with dissociative disorders and trauma, though I am open to chat with about a variety of things outside of that.
Experience: My primary area of expertise is in dissociative disorders and trauma, but I have many areas that I can support individuals in, including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, school/work stress, and addiction.
Time: On average, I can dedicate 45-90 minutes per individual chat. I will give 5-10 minute notices before I have to sign out, so do not expect an abrupt end to a conversation. I can check back with individuals after a conversation, but I typically offer one-off support to folks. Please let me know if you would like me to check back in, and expect a check-in after roughly a week if you ask.
Disclaimer: Due to being a student, my availability may be spotty during certain academic periods, so if you need to reach me, please message me and be patient (feel free to double message as well).
Thank you for taking the time to read this; if you have any questions or just want to reach out, feel free to send me a message.
