I'm glad that you have found this site are are reaching out for support through difficult times. I am a trained active listener and am able to offer support most effectively for those who are going through addiction, anxiety, domestic violence, eating disorders, grief, and trauma.

Some of the things that I enjoy the most are reading, talking walks through the park, hiking, yoga, and writing. I've overcome many obstacles in life and would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online please don't hesitate to reach out. If I happen to be offline, you are always welcome to send me a message and we can set up a time to talk. I'm glad that you are here.

...See more The holidays can be a trying time.  It's not uncommon to be overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry, or many other feelings.  I wanted to provide a space where we can journal and, if we say it's all right, provide support to others.  Whether you want to post your journals privately on your profile feed or post them here for others to read, please let me know if there's any type of support that I can provide through the community.
Upcoming Holidays

...See more The holidays are quickly approaching, which can be an incredibly difficult time for many of us.  For those of us in the United States, Thanksgiving is this upcoming Thursday with Christmas/Yule/Hanukkah closely following.  Rather than assuming what would be helpful for everyone in the community, I wanted to ask and give a few options.   In the past, we have opened the Addiction Support Room on the holiday as well as the day before and after.  While I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep it open all day, I'd be happy to keep it open as much as I can.  I generally have open discussions so that we can all share what's on our minds, though if you feel a guided discussion would be beneficial, please let me know that as well! Another option would be to have activities here in the forums.  I'm not entirely sure what that would look like right now but I'm working on getting that coordinated as well. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!  You can post them here in this thread or you can PM me directly. Thanks! IA

Words alone simply cannot describe just what an extraordinary listener and kind person internalacceptance is. She has helped and guided me with her tremendous patience and understanding. Thank you for everything
Great listener! Attentive, on time, responsive, helpful, patient, kind, good for long-term, non-judgemental, wise, calm. And remembers things from our prior chats and asks about them! Happy when I chat with this listener :)
I cannot describe enough how much internal acceptance has helped me. She is the kindest, most knowledgeable and amazing listener ever. Thank you for everything

They are really kind, supportive and understanding. Thank you for replying to my message and being a good 7 cups listener/moderator. I appreciate you.
I was really struggling. I found this place, and asked for a listener. Not knowing what was going to happen. I go IA and within short minutes I was feeling understood, calm, not alone. This was a really wonderful experience and I've felt truly heard for the first time in a long time. I even have resources to start looking for healing. Real ones. Real person with real compassion.
Before I talked with IA, I was in a really bad place dealing with some issues. I was able to share openly and never felt judged once. She helped me navigate lots of difficult issues and leave me feeling so much better. I’m so grateful
She is the most wonderful and kind listener ever. I cannot credit her enough for the support and kind ear. She has literally changed my life. Thank you so so much for everything
Awesome listener!
I loved the way they talked to me and listened to what I was willing to talk about at my own pace! I honestly cannot thank them enough for the amount of patience and respect they had with me, it was so very needed with what I was going through at the time. I hope I can speak to them again and express my gratitude by trying to become a better me!
She is very supportive and encouraging. Very insightful. She has a good attitude towards things in general!

Acceptance is the best listener I've come across on 7 Cups! She's really nice and caring. She turned my mood around today. I felt like I belonged, and she is the only person I could talk to without feeling like a burden.
She genuinely cares for members. Not only has she been able to comfort me, but also made me feel like I belong. She is the best listener here.
Perfect. Just what the doctor ordered.

Very good listener!
Excellent listener!
Very engaging questions and thoughtful replies. InternalAcceptance is a gem and a rare find!
I felt so comfortable. ♡
I am just getting to know InternalAcceptance in the last week or so. But I think this may end up as a long(er) type M-L relation; so that's very cool. I appreciate her point of view; and like tonight, how she helps and encourages me to look at things in a different way.
Very helpful ❤
Very friendly and helpful
