Bio
I listen with a truly caring and compassion heart to those that seek a listener and those that want to be heard. Having been through emotional, physical, mental, psychological pain myself I actually do understand, care and empathize. LGBTQ+ ally. Safe, Secure, Confidential, Accommodating, with respect for culture, customs, and traditions. Stronger together!
During our session, you will be heard in an empathetic way:
- ListenI try to listen without interrupting, and pay attention to chat language and other communication. I also try to reflect back what the member is saying to show that I am listening and understand.
- Be understandingI try to put aside my own viewpoint and see things from the member's perspective. For example, one can try to understand people even when one may not agree with them.
- Ask questionsI will ask the member question to learn more about them and their lives. I may ask "How can I help?" to show empathy and invite members to discuss their issues without fear of judgment.
- Express empathyI use phrases like "I'm sorry that you had to go through this" or "I appreciate your patience and cooperation" to show that I share or relate to the member's emotions.
- Model empathyI demonstrate empathy and understanding in my own behavior, actions, and decisions.
- Show gratitudeI express gratitude in the member's perspective and assume positive intent because I truly care.Let'chat soon!
