My name is Maggie, I am a recent graduate from a masters program. I also recently completed an MBSR(Mindfulness-based stress reduction) course where we used different meditation techniques to reduce anxiety and stress. In this course I learned a lot about the importance of awareness and the idea of being present. That is something that I believe is crucial especially when speaking to someone who’s in a vulnerable state because they need to feel supported and safe from judgements. I have always been a confidant for my friends and I would love nothing more than to be able to lend an ear for someone who needs to vent or be vulnerable.
