Need to talk to someone?

I have gone through some difficult times in the past which are behind me now. During my struggles I found that communicating with someone that cares is a precious gift so I hope to provide the same for someone else. I have personal experience with emotional abuse, depression, social anxiety, complex PTSD as well as having a family member with Borderline Personality Disorder. I also dealt with a person very close to me who took their own life.

Hi, my name is Josh. 💜 If you'd like to chat with me in real-time, you can use my booking form HERE (https://quietmagic7cups.youcanbook.me/) to schedule a 60-minute chat. Alternatively, if you'd like to chat via offline messages, can send me a PM and I’ll try my best to respond within 24-48 hours; my responses may be slower over the weekend. I don't specialize in any particular topics and am willing to talk to anyone about anything.

My purpose in 7c is being there for those who might need me for a while, as I myself, for a long time, knew how it felt having no one to talk to.

I am a 23-year-old who is all ears for people who want a shoulder to lean on. I have dealt with bereavements and the impact of grief on life and try to help people as much as I can. Having lived through loneliness myself, I am always there for people who want some anchoring. I don't take topics of a sexual nature or pertaining to self-harm. 

I welcome you to 7cups and hopefully you have just taken the first step in a direction you would like to go! I am an experienced listener as this has been an essential part of my work for several years. I am realistic in what I can do to help, and non-judgemental and sensitive in my approach  I have worked with people through many difficult times relating to a variety of life's issues and challenges - and I have also personal experience of some difficult life challenges and choices. I don't ever pretend I have all the answers though! But through talking and listening together, maybe I can help you reflect and talk more on whatever has brought you here, maybe from a different or wider perspective than you have so far seen, and maybe this will help you see your way forward a little more clearly. If my listening helps you to do that even in a small way, then perhaps you will feel more motivated, or positive, or re-assured, calmer or comforted - and that you will feel the time we will have shared has been worthwhile! We are all human ... and that makes us all unique in who we are but often we have life experiences in common. Many of those are challenges and choices that many others have faced, so surely it can make sense to share and learn from each other as we all go through life! So now that you have found 7cups and maybe even read my profile, all you need to do now is take the second step and make contact! If I am not on-line, please leave a message and I will reply as soon as I can to arrange a mutually convenient time to listen, share and reflect ..... and hopefully you can take the next step forward in the direction you want to go.

I’m here to listen and have real, meaningful conversations. Whether you need to vent, think out loud, or just have someone on the other side who actually pays attention. P.S. My communication style is direct, honest, and straightforward. I value openness and constructive conversations, but I understand that this approach may not resonate with everyone. If you're looking for a different style of support, another listener may be a better fit.
