New to the community
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the community. I'm a clinical psychologist by the way and a listener as well on 7 Cups. I wanted to share that I got a good experience from listening to people here which added to my career as a therapist.
I write articles about mental health and arts as well. Looking forward to sharing them soon with you.
Have a nice day!
@Love220
It is so great to hear how being a listener here had added value to your career as a therapist too. And yuss, looking forward to see you share more of your art and experiences here!💛

Thanks sun :)
wow that’s amazing! any tips for psychology students to improve their skills and be better at listening and empathizing?
@rachel0707 Hello,
There are many tips but for listening I recommend organizing the interactive studying materials: videos, face-to-face classes, and books. Having the information heard and written can assure it more. Empathizing can depend on the teacher as some of them are well-educated to the point they can empathize with their students. I hope this helps.
@Love220 they can join APA societies on its website to get toolkits and inventories which they can practise until they are graduated so they can have a great experience in test application and scoring.
thank you so much! i also meant tips for listening and empathizing with people like here on 7 cups and with friends etc

@rachel0707 well in general we don't have to act as psychologists when we listen to members on cups, but there was a guide for the listener training when we were practicing how to be a listener. It includes a warm salutation and accepting the member as he/she is, and a good addition as a psychologist is being aware and understanding of the symptoms of their disorders and their problems. Let me know if I have to clarify more.
@Love220 Welcome! I’m looking forward to your contributions.
Can you possibly message me on your listener account?
@LovingPeacefulHeart I can't see a send a message icon on your profile from my listener account.
@love220 that’s strange.
@Love220 will you post anything from your listener account?
Hello I would like to chat
