Bio

Hello, welcome to my place on 7 cups of tea. I am currently not available to additional chat requests.
I'm a trained listener and I like to hear true colors. I have gone through a divorce and a number of years of therapy. My time in therapy helped me understand and appreciate the person I truly am as opposed to the person I thought I needed to be or should be.
At the moment, I am considering applying to a counseling master's program and have taken a couple of counseling courses as a non-degree student.

I like walks to the nearby river; I have a Bianchi Milano bike that I'm fond of. I like Fluevog shoes; Dr Marten sandals; felt slippers from Etsy; Oshkosh overalls; dead-stock Old Navy bootcut jeans; Amy Butler towels; artisan bread; music: Beck, Breeders, Bob Dylan (esp. Nashville Skyline and Love and Theft), early Neko Case, Concretes, Camera Obscura, Isobel Campbell, Jenny O.

Feedback & Reviews
so much behind the smile...and it is good to be able to talk about all of it. Thank you
Thank you for the listening ear and for the encouragement to be myself.
When you lose a friend because they judged you and misunderstood you, it is really special to talk to someone who tried to understand and let my emotions be and let me be myself. I really appreciate that, thank you!
I appreciate talking to you so much. Something happens during these talks...since I feel you get me so well and I can put accents on the right syllables again. Thank you
A lovely chat. So deep and insightful. Thank you for being such a deep person and listener.
I appreciate your support and encouragement to love myself and take care of myself...I am finally getting there....and it feels good. Thank you so much. Your support means so much to me. Thank you
Very important reminders of how important it is to care for myself. Thanks for your patience and perseverance....
the most consistent and persistent listener, gosh, how can you still bear me? I am really thankful
He is a patient and insightful friend who speaks his heart and cares deeply
Understood my feelings so well
He sees and understands things so deeply, it is really touching
Thank you
I have gotten to the point when I am better at saying no and being able to recognize my feelings better thanks to hintofdave. I guess the wind is still blowing but things seem more clear now. I have found a friend who understands and accepts my mixed feelings and is ok with that. I really appreciate that.
Dave has been with me for a while now, listening to me every week, spending so many hours helping me deal with my past and my present situation and to understand myself and my issues better. I really appreciate his effort and support and amazing ability to summarize and paraphrase as well as to hear key themes and details. Thank you, you are amazing and so understanding
He is amazing at hearing all the details and getting the big picture as well as summarizing the ideas. I did not know anyone could understand me so well. It was almost a de javu feeling
He is amazing, so simple and easy to talk to him and he understands me like none else. Thank you for your time!
Nice guy v polite 😊
thank you for everything
