The Gratitude Project: List 3 Things That You Are Grateful For...
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
February 12th
...See more Hi there, Today we will learn a little more about gratitude and learn how to express this. Studies have shown that if you practice daily gratitude practice, it can make you feel happier and improve your health. What is Gratitude? Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one already has and not ones future desires or hopes. It is generated from within. This social emotion strengthens relationships, and its roots run deep in evolutionary history, and it stems from the survival value of helping others and being helped in return. Studies show that specific areas of the brain are involved in experiencing and expressing gratitude. Brain scans of people assigned a task that stimulates gratitude show lasting changes in the prefrontal cortex that heighten sensitivity to future experiences of gratitude, thus feeling happier and healthier. Please list 3 things that you are grateful for and share daily if you feel comfortable to do so!

Day 1: 25 Days of Gratitude, Self-Care and Personal Growth for 2024!
by LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS
Last post
December 25th, 2024
...See more Hi everyone! Happy 1st December and time goes so quickly. I'm excited to start a 25-day challenge focused on gratitude, self-care, and personal growth for 2024. Those of you may remember that we did this last year and as it was so popular it might be useful to continue. This journey is for anyone looking to nurture their mental health, cultivate positive and perhaps even new habits, and find more joy in their daily lives. Why 25 Days? * Small Steps, big impact: We'll break down larger goals into manageable daily tasks. * Habit formation: 25 days is a useful time frame to establish new habits. * Community support: We'll be here to encourage and support each other throughout the challenge. What to Expect: * Daily prompts and engaging therapeutic content: Each day, we'll share prompts related to gratitude, self-care, or personal growth. * A safe sharing space: Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and progress in the comments. * Community support: Let's create a positive and supportive space for everyone. Let's Get Started! We are excited that you're on this journey with us at 7 Cups! Remember: * Be kind to yourself: It's okay to miss a day or two or even five. Just pick up where you left off and all are welcome to participate! * Progress, not perfection: Focus on making small improvements each day. * Celebrate your wins: No matter how small, acknowledge your achievements. 🌻 Let's make this a month of positive change and it’s okay if you are not feeling as positive as you would like to be. We understand that sometimes no matter what you believe, the holiday season can be challenging for many reasons, we are here for you and you may find some of our prompts and content helpful.  Day 1: What is one thing you’ve done recently to take care of your mental health and well-being, and how did it make you feel?

...See more I would be nice after answering the questions for the sign up to be able to read the profile of the person I have been matched to. I might get an idea if the persons methodology is right for me before i spend $159. Not that the price is bad its just that over many years wasted time with therapists that were not a good match.

Therapist? What?
by Muse4apoem
Last post
May 6th, 2024
...See more I’ve went through 3 of them on here for some reason. Not listeners therapists. The first one I had a difficult time connecting with. I felt like I was repeating myself often. Maybe they just didn’t understand me it’s okay I decided to just move on. It has happened sometimes it’s just not a good fit. Anyways I’m not really sure what happen to the second one but some sorta misunderstanding happened. It was very odd to me and they ended the session I really hated that. This new therapist I messaged 2 back and for then never again. I get that it was only yesterday but it states that I get I get 2 to 3 messages a day. I understand people have a life outside of here also. I PAID FOR THIS. I’m sorry I’m not trying to sound bitter here. I feel terrible right now. If I didn’t need a therapist I wouldn’t be here. I’m about to leave this thank you.

Fund for therapy

...See more Not sure if it exists already but today was just thinking that since I joined two months ago I've seen several mention they cannot afford therapy. I wonder if it would be possible to create a fund specifically to sponsor those who are unable to pay or without any local support could apply for a sponsorship or similar?
