Why the Sharing Circle Helps a Person Feel Better

...See more I see numerous people say they feel better after sharing. It may not be right away, but they do come in the Sharing Circle and declare they feel better. But why does it help a person feel better? I would like to share my thoughts on a few reason why this is so. For one, a person doesn't feel so alone. That when they share they are no longer an isolate. That there are people, in the same boat or not, that actually care and are willing to listen. They are companions to the person in their moment of need. This satisfies the great need for recognition, which helps us feel better. Second, a person feels heard. They get the recognition that helps them feel like more of a person. That someone values them. Then they think, well maybe I am worth something. They are understood, and perhaps they can understand themselves more. Perhaps they feel, well if they can understand me, maybe I'm not so bad, maybe I'm not such a monster, maybe I'm not so different. This change in perception satisfies our great need for self-esteem, which helps us feel better. Lastly, it's a safe space to explore problems and to gain clarification of feelings. To lay it all out without fear of criticism, judgement and evaluation. It's a space where people no longer have to waste their time and energy defending who they are and how they feel. This is great because if we can explore our problem, we gain the insights we need to solve them, if they need to be solved at all. And we have the opportunity to discover and to release pent up emotion. And this has a releasing affect, which helps us to feel better. These are the reasons I believe the Sharing Circle helps a person to feel better. If these great needs are met, then it makes a positive difference and growth in a person's life. They feel better! The Sharing Circle is a place that allows us to be our self. And that in itself is a great gift.. I hope people continue to use it and I recommend: Get out there and share! Thanks for listening!

Model listener. Offers no suggestions, advice or opinions. Ask questions and let you do the solving the problem
10 stars. Knows what you are going through and is not afraid to ask tough questions.
Loyal, patient, honest and kind.
Thank you for talking with me tonight. For the probing questions searching for honest answers. For not giving up when I wanted to “copt out”. The gentle “nugde” that encouraged me to dig deeper and identify two main issues I need to talk more about in counseling and Biblical mentoring. You always rephrased what I said to make sure you understood what I was trying to say. You asked questions when you didnt understand what I was going thru. You didn’t give up. I got distracted by things here and you remained ready to continue to conversation when I was back from whatever distraction that had taken me away for several minutes. You gave me hope that someday I can change my name from hurting to living a life worth living (especially with my kitties). I can’t say thank you enough to show my gratitude to you my patient and kind and perceptive listener caringVision.
