Bio
"We are all so necessarily mad, that to try not to be mad would amount just for another form of madness" - Ernest Becker (from the book: The Denial of Death)
"Nothing short of everything will do" - (Aldous Huxley)
"It is no measure of health to be adjusted to a profoundly sick society" (Krishnamurti)
"The attempt to runaway from pain, will eventually result in more pain later on" (Gabor Mate)
I've been on the side since 2016. Lately very seldom. Nevertheless, when I am here I make sure to pay all my attention to the person or persons I am talking to here. I expect the same, otherwise, it won't work for any of us. I don't know how much chatting with a stranger helps on the other side, but I hope it does. However, no matter how well our chat goes it still has many limitations. That said, I've been through a lot (anxiety, depression, addiction, you name it), I've read a lot, and have some experience with therapy, psychology, and offline listening too.
I am glad to share my insights, knowledge, or simply my attention. Nothing usually has one simple solution, everything is interconnected (as Huxley put it in the quote above), so don't expect to change overnight. Be kind to yourself, and patient, and if you have acute anxiety, fear, or a problem know that nothing lasts forever. Also, know that we are all living in a culture that sells us unrealistic and unhealthy ideals, to be adjusted to it completely is fitting into madness we all accept as normal. It might be comforting and provide certain amount of certainty, but it's still just repression, just a well-accepted one.
Thus, I believe, real growth is painful confrontation not only with oneself, but also with the culture that co-created that Self as such it is a lifelong process that won't be "solved" by any one chat, therapy session, social media post, or book. Yet, every step is important, especially, the first few. So, that's my goal here - to provide an environment enabling taking a few steps towards more self-empathy, self-understanding, and more perspective. Nothing more, nothing less.
The "Spiritual" in Spiritual coverage does not mean esoteric, religious, or supernatural. It simply means that all problems have spiritual roots, in the sense that no one is independent of their environment, genetics, culture, or family, and beliefs we all adopted about ourselves from these sources.
Feedback & Reviews
Quick-witted and insightful listener who will approach your issues with patience and understanding. I enjoyed it a lot and felt safe sharing my problems and insecurities with him. He seems to have a genuine curiosity about human nature which makes him a great conversationalist.
A kind listener!
He is compassionate and caring and kind
Best help on this site. I swear to god.
Insightful, empathetic, sharp, calm... uses CBT ... best listener ... so sad that he comes here seldom these days.
Very caring and understanding, truthful and sincere with genuine interest in helping. He knows what he is doing and utilizes his messages in such a way that will make you comfortable talking and explore yourself more. Offers a mature opinion and a well though response and analysis to your problems. Very patient and willing to walk with you all the way. Highly recommended. Thank you .
I don't have words to express how much Pete helped me out. He is a really nice person, patient, and know how to listen and give advices. I'm really happy that I've talked to him. I wil recommended 10/10. Thank you very much

An extremely patient and intelligent listener. One of the best here. :)
Thank you for taking the time to listen
An extremely professional, wonderful listener.
I so appreciate chatting with you. I've never felt so heard before. Patient, gentle and considerate, eager to truly understand my situation. Thoughtful feedback and suggestions that leave me feeling optimistic. Thank you.
Amazing listener... understood al the things right away .... and I felt an incredible compassion from the listener ... amazing... one of the best! Thanks!...
Was very compassionate and had lots of helpful advice! Made me feel very safe to discuss my issues and asked all the right questions to make sure everything was understood before offering suggestions to me. The advice was particularly helpful and was explained in a clear way too, which is very helpful when you're feeling distressed or upset!
Pete is amazing and very nice and attentive to assessing and helping in anyway! My favorite person to talk to.
easy to talk to
He's very good, I'm doing it for my own purposes.
Excellent
He's a nice guy and a good listener :) Very helpful.
Very smart listener. Let me talk about my issues and pointed out my fallacies in my thinking or feelings without being judgemental or interrupting me. I appreciated this approach, since it was like talking to my wiser self, really. Just leading the conversation the right way to get to the source of the issue, without rushing it or avoiding it. Right balance! Felt like he was trying to point me into my own resources for tackling the issue, and strenghten my ability to trust myself with it while, giving me much broader perspective in which I could see more than before. Highly recommended for an intelligent and rational and yet compassionate listening!
Professional and good listener
My new favorite listener here. Insightful and perceptive and constrictive and forward-moving. A very rare person, a true gem if you want good thorough analysis of who you are / what is happening.
Wonderful. Perceptive, well-wounded, clever, attentive listener.

Thank you for saving me
Brilliant listener! Listened to my rants and offered constructive solutions.
This person has a lot of insight and knowledge in psychology, and it was very evident in the way he analysed the situations and words I provided him with. I found the conversation with him enlightening, as first of all, I was able to get many things off of my chest, and second, he helped me see and realise certain things about myself that I hadn't paid much attention to before.
i know how much a review is for a listener cause i am one. thank you so much you helped me think of a solution. you were very chilled and it helped me to know what should do next.
...Thanks you... Best listener I ever had.
Very kind, understanding, and insightful
Absolutely fantastic listener. I felt like he gave me time to express where I was with what I was feeling and then provided advice to help me combat it, even to the extent of useful resources. He also offered continued support if you should need it. 10/10.
Helped me with really serious issue, very patient and careful, non judgmental. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Beautiful insight and nice support. Thank you!
