Seeking long-term listener for accountability check-ins

...See more Hi! I have gone through the Browse Listeners feature, but I thought I might try my luck here as well. I have trouble with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. I have done DBT in the past, and found it helpful at the time, but I failed to keep practicing the skills I learned; so then I didn't have the skills when I needed them. I kept lashing out at my (loving, supportive, but long-distance) girlfriend when I got overwhelmed with anxiety. I don't want to do that anymore. After some reflection on what I need to achieve my goals, I have developed some new plans, focusing especially on positivity and mindfulness. I would like to find a long-term listener to encourage me to follow through on those plans. My ideal listener would be experienced in helping with emotional regulation, relationship stress, and general anxiety, and also be queer-friendly. I would like to do the weekly structured exercises [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsSponsorProgram_169/StructuringyourtimetogetherAweeklyplanforworkingtogether_1137/] together, and also to check in and to report on my progress, where I am responsible to tell you what I practiced and how it went. A little about me: I'm a queer cis woman, mid-20s, a PhD student, and I devote my spare time to photography and printmaking. My favorite ice cream flavor is hazelnut, and I identify with Jane Lane from Daria. I hope to hear from you!
