A warm and wonderful welcome to you, @Lara :)
I'm new here. I just installed this app. Can someone explain me how it works? Do I have to pay, for people to help me?
Hi @estrela in response to your question. This site is free so you don't have to pay. Soon 7 Cups is launching a way to connect to a licensed therapist and pay a fee however the rest of the Listeners are still here and free of charge. Hope that helps.
Thank you
@estrela - to chat (for free) with a trained active listener, you can either choose "Connect Now" (to be connected to the next available listener) or you can choose "Browse Listeners" to view available listeners and read their descriptions, specialties, ratings and reviews, and so on.
I hope that helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck.
Also, anytime you see a username of someone posting in these forums or in the group chats, etc., if they are a listener you can click on their name to go to their profile or request a chat / leave them a mesage.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Thanks Xian!
This is AWESOME news, I wanna become a life coach and am currently studying christian counselling and family therapy:)
I have not studied life coaching but I have studied community services,mental health, dental nursing and hotel managemnet and worked a lot with people and am now studying counselling and family therapy, I hope I can do life coaching on 7 cups of tea, I think I will do well at this:)
I would be interested in becoming a Life Coach! This all looks really awesome!
You'll just have to make sure guests know that listeners would still be free to talk to, just you have to pay for specialists, otherwise there'll be an outcry.
@SilentSerenityy - great point... we often forget what it's like to show up as a guest with only a very sketchy idea of how this all works
Still am curious as to how this is all going to work though I wouldn't use the paid services having just lost my job and the Listeners can really be hit and miss. So glad I've finally got a therapist.
Hi I'm new. I feel like I have nobody to talk about this stuff to because people are getting bored of me being 'down' I just want to feel normal and happy all the time again and I don't know how because I feel like I don't know who I am anymore and dont know what to do :(
@hope3xxx i feel the same way. My friends are tured of me being sad and I don't know what to do with it anymore.
@hope3xxx @Nonalia3
Hey! Feel free to come on chat with me. I will try my best to help you out. :)
I don't really know how to use this properly yet I want to know what's wrong with me and if anyone's felt the same a feel a firing ball of anger in my stomach n take it out on the ones a love the most n feel as the world is against me n just can't stop crying
This is really exciting, the 7 cups platform is helping so many people and I am very excited to take part in this new chapter! I've been looking for a long time for a platform that is confidential, reliable and just socially minded. Kudos! I look forward to working with 7 cups and it's community, further : ).
@MsKCarterRCC Thank you!
I'm learning to be more positive about the things going on around me as well as to be thankful for things in my life. It gets so hard to stop the noise sometimes that taking a moment to breathe and think of myself is refreshing.
