Introduction/Nice to meet you all!
I'm Gracie, and I joined 7cups a few days ago as a listener! I just wanted to say that, in the short amount of time I've been on the site so far, I'm amazed at how welcoming and accepting the 7cups community is! I'm going into medicine, and I think it's really important for a doctor to have active listening skills and to prioritize their patient's mental and emotional wellbeing. I've already learned so much, and I will continue to grow as a listener and supporter! Again, thanks to everyone for being so supportive and for collectively making the world a better place!

I think it's great to have well developed listening skills as a physician, not to mention a warm temperment. I've found that too many doctors develop a detached way of relating to patients.
Good luck with being a Listener!
