❤️ 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!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

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??

2 replies

@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.

^ Quote from 4,3,2,1 by Paul Auster 2017.

@Mochigotjams Welcome Mary, I hope you are finding 7 Cups to be a supportive place! While we never give out direct advice, everyone here is very compassionate and understanding. 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.

hopefulmorgant October 6th

@SoulfullyAButterfly I joined today out of desperation I guess. 

Lost my husband when we were both 33 ..to cancer. Then I lost my momma. Last year before Christmas my house burned down and I lost everything I loved. Now anxiety runs my life. Im always afraid now.. always afraid my new house will start on fire or something bad will happen and I cant afford therapy. 

Nice to meet you.

@hopefulmorgant Hi Morgant, welcome to 7 Cups. Thank you for sharing a bit about your story. It is true that our past alongside traumatic experiences can bring anxiety and overwhelming feelings into our lives. I am sorry to hear about the losses as well. What is important is that you are now here, and we are a very compassionate community. I really hope you find the connection and resources (we have many therapeutic features!) to find some hope and healing 💖

@korben

Korben, it's really cool that you were able to read and understand the Torah at such a young age. As with many sacred texts, the Torah is pretty dense and literarily challenging at times! It sounds like you're struggling with straddling two different cultures, and I hope you're able to find some perspective on that here. Although I didn't have a multicultural upbringing, I'm very empathetic and have been in support professions for the last 10 years. Reach out if you need to talk, and welcome!
