❤️ your username. It’s so peaceful.

@akunknown thank you! It's inspired by a book I read actually and related to psychology too. It felt right when I was starting out my journey on here as well as in the field of psychology!

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the name of the book that inspired your username and who’s the author of the book??

@akunknown Apologies for the delay here but I was finally able to dig it up! It was really nice to go back to 2017 and also read some initial reflections I penned after being accepted into my undergraduate program! I appreciate you being curious:
The word psyche means two things in Greek, his aunt said. Two very different but interesting things. Butterfly and soul. But when you stop and think about it carefully, butterfly and soul aren’t so different, after all, are they? A butterfly starts out as a caterpillar, an ugly sort of earthbound, wormy nothing, and then one day the caterpillar builds a cocoon, and after a certain amount of time the cocoon opens and out comes the butterfly, the most beautiful creature in the world. That’s what happens to souls as well, Archie. They struggle in the depths of darkness and ignorance, they suffer through trials and misfortunes, and bit by bit they become purified by those sufferings, strengthened by the hard things that happen to them, and one day, if the soul in question is a worthy soul, it will break out of its cocoon and soar through the air like a magnificent butterfly.

Active listening is a core thing amongst all our top features, and it really helps explore solutions without direct advice which can sometimes be dangerous.

Welcome Heather I am Skatcat

I am wandamx26. I came here to work on my anxiety because I have been experiencing a lot of that recently. Things have been tough for me lately, I quit my last job looking for a new one but still have no luck.

I am 16, I am Mexican but speak zero Spanish. I also like to practice Judaism in my free time and abide by all Jewish laws,including but not limited to: not eating swine, and not mixing meat and dairy. When I was 14 I read whole the Torah.

@Heather225
Hi! I joined seven cups yesterday and already, it's helped me so much. I hope everyone here has a brilliant rest of your day and gets to see a cute animal today :)
