Bio

I'm a 25-year-old individual with an M.Sc. Applied Psychology (Spcl. Clinical Psychology). I specialize in being a compassionate listener to people struggling with anxiety, relationships, or simply need someone to talk to. However, I do not offer any advice. I'm here to offer a safe space for everyone to express themselves. With empathy and understanding, I'll provide support without judgment and help others explore coping strategies and set goals for positive change. As someone passionate about mental health and well-being, I believe in the power of empathetic listening and peer support in fostering resilience and recovery.

The Power of Self-Awareness: Know Yourself, Grow Yourself

...See more Hey Cupsers 😃, Let's dive into self-awareness. This is all about understanding your own strengths, weaknesses, values, and what drives you. When you really know yourself, you can make better decisions, handle your emotions, and tackle challenges head-on. 😇 For example, I used to get really frustrated during group projects because I felt like no one was listening to my ideas. 😓 After some reflection, I realized that I wasn't great at communicating my thoughts clearly. So, I started working on my communication skills, and it made a huge difference. Not only did I become a better team player, but I also felt more confident in expressing myself. 🥹 Discussion Questions: * How do you keep track of your self-awareness in your daily life or at work? Do you have any specific practices or tools that help you stay in tune with yourself? 🤔 * What tips or tricks have helped you discover areas where you need to improve? Share any self-reflection techniques that have worked for you. 😲 Self-awareness isn't just about recognizing your flaws—it's also about celebrating your strengths. When you know what you're good at, you can leverage those skills to achieve your goals. So, how do you maintain self-awareness? Maybe you journal, meditate, or seek feedback from others. Whatever your method, it's all about staying connected with yourself.  Can't wait to hear how you all practice self-awareness and what impact it's had on your lives! Let's get the conversation started. 😺

Embracing Openness: Your Ticket to Lifelong Learning

...See more Hello Cupsers 😀, Let's talk about something super important: openness. Having an open mindset means you're ready to accept new ideas, try out different experiences, and see things from other perspectives. It's all about challenging what you think you know and diving into the unknown with curiosity. So, why does openness matter? Picture this: I used to think yoga was just stretching and breathing, nothing special. 😮‍💨 But one day, a friend dragged me to a class. 🫣 I was skeptical, but I decided to be open-minded and give it a shot. To my surprise, not only did I enjoy it, but it also helped me with stress management and improved my flexibility. If I had stayed closed off, I would have missed out on something that became a crucial part of my routine! 🤩🥳 Discussion Questions: * How do you stay open-minded in your everyday life? Share your tips and tricks for embracing new ideas and experiences. * Can you share a time when being open to something new made a big difference in your life? What was it, and how did it impact you? Openness isn't just about trying new activities—it's also about listening to and learning from different viewpoints. Being open in a constantly changing world can help us adapt and grow. So, what are some ways you practice openness? Maybe it's trying a new hobby, exploring a different genre of music, or even having conversations with people who have different opinions. Let’s hear your stories and insights! What has openness brought into your life?  🐾 wishfulForest1871🐾

I had a great experience with the listener on this site. They were compassionate, understanding, and provided thoughtful suggestions without judgment. Their open-minded approach helped me feel more at ease about my relationship challenges. Highly recommended for anyone needing a supportive ear.
Forest was super understanding and didn’t judge me at all. They really got where I was coming from and gave me some great tips to try and fix things with my daughter. Felt like I was talking to a friend who genuinely wanted to help.
Absolutely awesome listener! Super empathetic and gave great suggestions without being pushy. Helped me feel heard and gave me a sense of direction.
Amazingly supportive and kind listener. Created a safe environment and willing to actively listen.
I had a really good conversation with the listener. Very understanding and helpful. Would definitely love to connect again.
Very understanding and thoughtful!
What a lovely reflective Listener who was very affirming of my process. I appreciate their being here for me when I was in a time of need.
Quietly reassuring & a pleasure to chat with. The heaviness I was feeling after a bad day quickly dispelled. A Listener I'll definitely chat with again.
