Members - Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself Here!

My (fireworks576) Listener Oath:

Listener Oath

I pledge a moral oath before my fellow active listeners, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill to the best of my ability and judgment this covenant and undertaking.

I must first do no harm. � �

I will promote healing and well-being in my members and place the member�s interests above my own at all times.

I will not violate the physical boundaries of the client and will always provide a safe and trusting haven for healing.

I will respect the integrity of the members with whom I am working, and I will remain objective in my relationships with members.

I will be silent and honor the confidentiality of my members.

I will treat my fellow listeners with honor and respect. I recognize that my behavior impacts them individually and influences the entire community.

I will provide only those services for which I have had the appropriate training and experience and will keep my technical competency at the highest level in order to uphold best listening practices.

I will recognize when I don't know something, asking for help when I need it. I will know my own abilities and limitations.

I commit to growing in knowledge, understanding, and skill, to work collaboratively with listeners and other colleagues in the health professions, and to promote the highest quality of member care.

I will keep this promise as a person of integrity and as an active listener, and I will do everything in my power to facilitate health, healing, and wholeness within myself, my fellow listeners, members and my world.

Hello everyone, new here

Hello all, I am Sunny Wildflower and I joined 7 Cups to help others find their strength. While here I also have found support in my own personal challenges as i work towards becoming a stronger version of myself. Thank you for such an amazing community

Hello I'm new as a listener and I hope to do the best I can.

Hello everyone, am happy being here

Hello everyone!

Hank you!

Hello, I've come here for advice and support about my situation I guess? I am lost. My husband recently lost both his parents to alcohol abuse and suicide. He himself struggles with alcohol abuse and depression. He will not willingly get the help he needs and has many drunken, suicidal idealation episodes. He has seen a therapist, but they will not help the depression without first helping his drinking since alcohol is a depressant. This has put a lot of strain on our marriage. It's hard for me to be with someone who does not want to be here and I don't know how to handle it and what else to do to help him.
