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

Free online EMDR
by RarelyCharlie
Last post
 November 27th, 2025
...See more A therapist told me today about this website where you can do EMDR treatment on your own without a therapist: EMDR Tool It tells you how to go about EMDR in easy steps, and there are videos that explain further. EMDR, they say, can help with: * PTSD * Social/General Anxiety * Depression/Hopelessness * Low Movitation [sic] * Self Esteem Issues * Eating Disorders * Jealousy * And More! I haven't tried it myself for real, but it looks professionally done. It doesn't ask for personal information, and it doesn't contain advertising. It seems to be based in Canada, and it says it was developed by therapists, but apart from that I don't know who's behind it. It seems to me therapists at 7 Cups might be also able to use this as an enhancement to online therapy.

I hate Maldaptive daydreaming so much
by tallHemlock5534
Last post
 February 24th, 2024
...See more I hate it so much. I use to daydream about video games with themes of war, violence and action later on i imagined being in sports. I used to imagine myself in the game when i was daydreaming as a kid and young teen. Now i think about it makes me uncomfortable and crazy because in real life im very gentle person. But this disorder ruined me and my social skills and made me stay immature. Like i had differnet norms and habits than everyone like depressive fantasies different music and weird music like from video games. Im not interesting to socialize with and i couldnt relate socially to a lot of people and i was never really funny and i have low self esteem. Recently i changed my habits watching new movues listening to music, recently social life slightly better but i wished i had developed new habits years ago and develop better social relationships. Does anyone feel like this?

Dealing with Academic Pressure
by compkiwi
Last post
 June 6th, 2023
...See more Dealing with Academic pressure Maintaining a good academic record is what most of us aspire to achieve nowadays. The methods of achieving it are varied and are different for different people. However, one common method to ensure good marks in your examinations was, is and always will be – hard work and determination. However, some people may be putting in sufficient effort and may still feel unsure about their capability to perform. If you are such a person, you are not alone. But fear not, for I have the perfect to-do list for you to do so that you will not experience exam stress Make a study-schedule: § Familiarize yourself with the syllabus and material. § NEVER try to complete large amounts of portion in a small-time span – it almost always never works out, it is usually a waste of effort, time and energy. § Give yourself small rewards after completing your task for the day. § It is okay to have days where you aren’t as productive in general but make sure to regulate the number of times you do this. § If you’re thinking of making a study group, ensure that the group will actually study during that time and not just sit around and gossip § Find what your preferred learning style is and learn via that method. If you are a visual learner, you could watch videos on youtube which explain the concept § Get creative! Try making some notes of your own which always works out well by writing down the material on paper. Execution of the schedule: § Adhere to the plan as much as possible. While it may seem tempting to delay some of the topics to the buffer days you have added, try to stick to the plan. § Never push forward the plan unless it Is absolutely necessary § Take breaks as appropriate. Exercising, sleeping enough and eating well are key for you to maintain your health. § Ensure you do not burn yourself out. § If you seem to struggle with a topic, reach out to your group or teacher for help. § Do not panic if you miss out on some topics. Buffer days may help or consider a crash course from a friend. § Do not doubt yourself or procrastinate – it only makes things worse at the end of the day. On the approach of the day of the exam § Try revising your study material again and practicing some questions § Ideally, practice some previous year question papers § Go through your syllabus to ensure you have gone through everything required and haven’t missed out on any portion. § Do your favorite hobby, step outside and take a breather, hang out with friends. With this I am sure that any one of you will certainly perform well in the examinations and also not have exam stress at all. Getting rid of your examination stress will at the end, lead you to performing better in the examinations and getting a good academic score. Also remember life is a marathon and not a SPRINT.

7 Cups Online Therapy Community Forum Guidelines
by amiablePeace77
Last post
 May 28th, 2023
...See more Hello everyone 💙 Below are some guidelines which we kindly ask you to respect when making threads or posts in the 7cups Online Therapy Community. Thank you. 💙 When writing Therapy Community forum posts, it's important to keep in mind the purpose of the forum: to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to share their experiences and seek support from others. Please consider the following guidelines before posting: 1. Be empathetic: Remember that the people reading your post may be going through a difficult time. Show empathy and understanding in your language, and avoid judgement or criticism. 2. Share your own experiences: If you have personal experience with the topic at hand, sharing your story can help others feel less alone and more understood. 3. Provide helpful resources: If you have found any helpful books, websites, or other resources, share them with the group. This can help others find the support they need. 4. Encourage positivity: While it's important to acknowledge and validate difficult emotions, it's also helpful to focus on the positive. Encourage others to think about what they are grateful for or what brings them joy. Remember, the Therapy Community forums are a place for support and encouragement for all people visiting 7 Cups. By following these tips, you can help others feel seen, heard, and supported.

...See more The National Alliance on Mental Illness provides support, awareness, and resources to those living with mental illness through advocacy and fundraising events. This year I was blessed enough to participate in a 5K NAMI walk and donate 100$ to the fight for "Stoping out Stigma". The turn out was overwhelming. They had live performers and professional speakers sharing their stories and shared passion. I made it all morning without getting teary, but my strength wavered during the moment of silence to honor loved ones lost to mental illness. This is such a powerful movement, and I am proud to be a part of it. Be kind. Be well. https://www.nami.org/
