Bio

Do to my schedule, I am no longer taking on individual chats except those I already am in individual chats with.  If you want to seek out a listener, please use this link:  https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

I love life.  I enjoy helping.  My focus is recovery from abuse and sexual trauma, eating disorders and dissociation.  I have interests in university internships and career development. 

I am a Christian and that gives me strength. If you are wanting faith-based support, please let me know. I know that for some individuals, Christians have been very hurtful. If you are not a Christian, I'm not here to judge or impose my spiritual beliefs - I'm here to listen. I will not talk to you about God unless you ask to talk about faith.  I do not take theological chats.

...See more  You are enough, right here and now.  What is something you are thankful for today? What is something you want to add to your recovery plan over the next month?

Remember, you are worth the investment of the hard work, the time you put into your recovery, and the challenges that you face on this journey.
Self-Care Challenge
Eating Disorder Support / by KristenHR

September 19th
...See more Self-care is a necessary part of recovery, though it has many, many ways to being done.  A lot of times people think that self-care needs to have time set aside that we spend an hour or a day just to do self-care.  I'm here today to challenge you to do self-care this week and to challenge your thinking on what self-care is! Self-care is a conscious act people take to promote their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. It can be something that is done in as short as 5 - 10 minutes or as long as a week.  It can be something done regularly or something done randomly.  It can be an old faithful activity, or something that you've never tried before. Let's discuss self-care for a bit. When you think about self-care in recovery, what comes to mind for you? What kinds of things do you do for your self-care that you find helps and works for you that others might find helpful, and how much time do you spend doing it? How did you decide which things to do for your self-care?  Did anyone help you get started? What is one thing this week that you could do for you that would be beneficial to your recovery that is taking care of you, and just being kind to you in the form of self-care? Please join me in discussing this and let's share how we utilize self-care in our recovery from eating disorders and other life challenges. Kristen
