Hi, I'm Katie. I am a college student studying psychology, and I am completing an internship at 7 Cups for a class I'm currently taking. I'm about 2 or 3 semesters away from graduating with my bachelor's degree, and then I want to go on to graduate school. I'm hoping to become a therapist someday and teach university courses and mentor on the side. I have two very sweet dogs named Calypso and Chico. I am super into houseplants, and I've currently got 56. I love to read, learn, knit, crochet, sing, and play piano and violin. I'm looking forward to becoming more involved at 7 Cups!
Also, I really feel like I have hardly any idea what I am doing. I am just following the steps for now and hoping that things will come together. I've procrastinated my trial requirements for a bit, and I'm worried about meeting them before Monday and what that might mean about my internship.
@katgoa WELCOME KATIE! how r u ? <3 [p.s. good luck !! ;) ]
@katgoa Good morning and welcome aboard Katie hope you are having a good weekend.
@katgoa We have a lot of leadership roles here at 7cups. In what ways do you hope to become more involved here at 7cups? Do you know yet?
Namaste, new listener! I joined here 9 years ago. I have been assisting on and off, based on my self-care and growth cycles.
I have learned to remember and ground myself because seeing someone in distress or need, could make me to want me do more than I can (or are allowed on this platform).
Allowing any feeling of helplessness if it arise instead of contracting myself, helps. The feelings of distress dissipate.
For non-urgent assistance, you could leave me a message and I could listen to you depending on my availability.
Look after yourself, fellow listener.
@TPM I am so glad you remembered to set boundaries, for yourself. It is really important to have boundaries and to have self-care.
Welcome all
Hi I'm Janine! Got a degree and MSc in psychology but not used them and awful lot due to poor mental health.
But I'm doing good now and hoping to use my experience to help others
@JanMad87 Hi Janine
@JanMad87 welcome to 7 Cups as a listener with an excellent background to help others. Sometimes listeners encounter situations they do not know how to handle or they need to decompress after a round chat. A mentor can help with that https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/mentors/
Great to meet you!
@JanMad87

Hello! I joined a few weeks ago or so and was a member years ago, too. I was helped out so much last time. They recently gave me this user name and I couldn't say no. Yea to all the amazing animal user names, and all the other user names, too! I'm just finding my sub-group for this time. Maybe I can find help and maybe I can give back where I can help out, too!
@faithfulZebra8678 Welcome back! I hope you're able to find some groups that work well for you!
