How to find an expert?

...See more Hello writers! A question came in that I thought I'd share with the group here: How to find experts for quoting? Most articles we will want an expert to weigh in on the subject. This adds credibility and authority to our pieces. Usually, experts are happy to offer a quote as it gives them more visibility. We can offer them a link to their site/book. To find experts, we have a roster of therapists on 7 Cups that I can help coordinate reaching out to for article quotes, or, feel free to branch out and contact other professionals that specialize in the topic you're writing about. Universities, clinics, private practices...look for authors of books in the topic you're writing about. You can also quote from books or other literature to accomplish this, please cite all sources. Hope that helps!

...See more Hello everyone! I want to start a new content series that shares what people learned in therapy. Perhaps it's an a-ha moment on why you felt or did something, a learning that really changed the way you thought, or something as simple as an effective mantra. Please share something you've learned in therapy below. More in-depth stories about therapy breakthrough moments (full stories about why you went to therapy and how it helped you) can be emailed to editorial@7cups.com. Love sharing learnings with everyone so we all grow! Thank you!

...See more Hello 7 Cuppers! I'm launching a new series in our expert content section [https://www.7cups.com/experts/] called "Ask a Therapist," and I'd love to gather questions you all want to know here. So...what is it you'd love to ask a therapist? Anything about therapy itself, how to cope with a certain situation or emotion, how to get unstuck, handle negative thinking, mindfulness suggestions, or something about their profession itself, anything. Note: it may take a few weeks to gather answers and post the articles, but I will update the thread here as the articles come in. Looking forward to hearing what questions you have!
