The Gratitude Project: List 3 Things That You Are Grateful For...
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post

...See more Hi there, Today we will learn a little more about gratitude and learn how to express this. Studies have shown that if you practice daily gratitude practice, it can make you feel happier and improve your health. What is Gratitude? Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one already has and not ones future desires or hopes. It is generated from within. This social emotion strengthens relationships, and its roots run deep in evolutionary history, and it stems from the survival value of helping others and being helped in return. Studies show that specific areas of the brain are involved in experiencing and expressing gratitude. Brain scans of people assigned a task that stimulates gratitude show lasting changes in the prefrontal cortex that heighten sensitivity to future experiences of gratitude, thus feeling happier and healthier. Please list 3 things that you are grateful for and share daily if you feel comfortable to do so!

 November 27th, 2025
...See more Hi everyone! Welcome to an AMA (ask me anything) in the "The Therapist's Office" with Ashley Flewellan, therapist of 7 Cups online therapy program. To learn more about them check out their profile page.  [https://www.7cups.com/local/us/nj/freehold/therapists/ashley-flewellen-lpc-71627950893] Sorry the AMA is now closed to new questions but feel free to read the questions by other members and Ashley's answers. Ashley's replies to your questions will follow starting on Monday the 24th of March 2025. Get your questions in before 7PM EDT Friday 3-28. To subscribe, so you can follow this thread and the therapist's answers, hit the subscribe button in the lower left of this post to get alerts when new posts are made to this thread. We welcome your questions, but what type of questions should I ask? We welcome any questions that are related to mental health experiences and challenges. You may also want to ask questions about therapy and coping skills for particular challenges you face. Please avoid asking the therapist for specific advice like "should I date this guy after meeting him online?" You may ask the therapist for coping options with the particular mental health challenges you face and they can share suggestions that you may want to consider, but this is not an advice column. It is more like a place to learn about how online therapy at 7 Cups could help you deal with life and the many challenges it presents. If you have any customer service-related questions please email support@7cups.com as they cannot be answered in this thread. Finally, please avoid questions about medication as these are best suited to be answered by your physician, and anything not normally discussed in 7 Cups forums. If you have a question about this thread, please feel free to PM either one of us https://www.7cups.com/@amiablePeace77 or https://www.7cups.com/@soulsings I am subscribed to this thread and eager to hear your questions and the therapist's answers.

Coping with my emotions by writing poetry
by kindCranberry8443
Last post
 3 days ago
...See more There are many times in my life when I feel like I'm standing at the edge of a cliff, on an unsteady rock, peering down into the bowels of ***, and all I want to do is step off that rock, and plummet towards whatever fate awaits me. I know I have to save myself, from myself at these times, so I write poetry to express my feelings and emotions; poetry that is dark, dismal and morbid to the point where anyone reading it would be tempted to say, "My god she needs help!" It's all I have at times, along with my tears, to release the pressure of my life so I can go on to see the next day.  Not all of my poetry is dark. Some of it is very uplifting when I'm having a good moment in life, but these poems are far apart, and few at best.  My feminine soul is always crying out to those who will listen, and those who do have saved me so many times, I owe them a debt I can never repay....Nichole

I'm nervous about doing theraphy once again...
by LifelD239
Last post
 February 24th
...See more Yeah I'm nervous. Tomorrow I have a meeting/interview so they can let me in. It may be possible I start going there this week... I talked with my psychiatrist about it. We reached to an agreement that the best thing for me is going there three days per week. Gym class, yoga, music theraphy and maybe TO(oh lol I mean occupational theraphy) I'm still not sure about the other theraphies. I have to decide it there in the interview maybe...   I'm nervous because of many reasons, I'm new once again, I know some people there but I'm still nervous because this time I don't want to go there and make friends of all of the people there. I want to feel more at easy with sharing my issues there. i always fought back when it comes to sharing delicate issues. like family issues, and personal insecurities...  Also there's a girl and I'm sorry for saying this, I can't stand her... and she knows it. One of the reasons I'm nervous about is this... I'm afraid she may be confrontative with me or something like that... but from what I know this is a place where you should feel safe and the young woman who spends her time with the people there, the one who works with the people makes the space as safe as possible... idk I may be afraid to feel awkward around this person but anyways. i didn't have a problem with the other people I know from a year ago doing theraphy with me... so... I'm not going to be i'm the institution all day, just be there for the ones I like the most. I don't know if I'm forgetting to write something more about how I feel about all this... I'm nervous guysss! Once again hahaha. Fingers crossed 🤞

Unreliable therapist
by kindTurtle3738
Last post
 May 7th, 2025
...See more I will not go to another therapist. The one I ‘see’ currently, since April 2020, never shows up for appts that she set up for me on every Monday and Friday. She misses an average of 9 out of 10 appts. I have had 3 unprofessional therapists in a row. I wasted a couple of years that I could not afford to lose. I’m terminal with the same disease I lost one of my brothers to:(... I know it’s going to be rough. My brother had my help as his progressed, but i have lost everyone. Both of my brothers and all but one of my friends have passed away. My last friend betrayed me so bad. We were friends for 33 years. When I was in the ICU of local hospital, with 20% chance of surviving, she moved me out. I lost my home to flooding disaster, so I had been living with her and helping her by staying with her dad. This therapist knows I’m not doing good, and that I barely survived 2 attempts last year!! and even when I tell her to please keep an appt, she still doesn’t:(.?when she does show up, she tells me to do things that I was in therapy to learn how to :(. Too bad

...See more I would be nice after answering the questions for the sign up to be able to read the profile of the person I have been matched to. I might get an idea if the persons methodology is right for me before i spend $159. Not that the price is bad its just that over many years wasted time with therapists that were not a good match.

Therapist? What?
by Muse4apoem
Last post
 May 6th, 2024
...See more I’ve went through 3 of them on here for some reason. Not listeners therapists. The first one I had a difficult time connecting with. I felt like I was repeating myself often. Maybe they just didn’t understand me it’s okay I decided to just move on. It has happened sometimes it’s just not a good fit. Anyways I’m not really sure what happen to the second one but some sorta misunderstanding happened. It was very odd to me and they ended the session I really hated that. This new therapist I messaged 2 back and for then never again. I get that it was only yesterday but it states that I get I get 2 to 3 messages a day. I understand people have a life outside of here also. I PAID FOR THIS. I’m sorry I’m not trying to sound bitter here. I feel terrible right now. If I didn’t need a therapist I wouldn’t be here. I’m about to leave this thank you.
