Values

I feel that our values are giving respect, encouragement, and displaying support, trustworthiness, and kindness to all guests/members which we encounter.

I agree, listeners are trained here yo give support to guest/members. It is usefull listener to practice self care in order to know to cope with unpleasent situations.

I have also want to stress that beside developing my listening skill, Im also experiencing changes in my life skills. Thanks to 7 cups community

Cool

So true. Listening is an under-valued art in our world today. And so misunderstood!

Listen often means hearing what is being communicated, not just through words but emotionally. Between the words, and that the other person wants to be recognized as valid in their existence and relaying their experience and emotions. It is a skill to learn.

@helpfulRainfall22 This is very true. Everyone needs to vent sometimes and it can really help remove some of our daily stress. Having someone there for you and talking with no restrictions is just amazing.

Values... I think the values of 7 Cups are to be a place where people struggling with issues ( mental/physical illness and/or disabilities, abuse,addictions etc ) can come together and offer support, encouragement or simply a friendly and caring ear to listen to one another. Hopefully, a non - judgemental, caring place where people feel safe.

I think 7 cups of tea addresses the art of listening. Sometimes when youre down and need someone to talk to, you just want them to listen, not neccessarily answer and give advice..

I believe in so many things but core things I live by are, forgiveness for others allows us to forgive ourselves. We need to realize that we are all here to live, you decide how. Lastly I always treat others as I would like to be treated.
