Will I pay money for talking to a listener?

Nope! Talking to a listener is 100% free. There is the option to pay for a therapist, although this isn't available to teens. The difference between a therapist and a listener is that a therapist is professionally trained, while listeners are simply volunteers - we're trained in active listening, not professional support.

No listeners work on a voluntary basis as and when they are able to. You can talk to a listener for as long as you wish and reconnect via the message facility. You have the option of browsing for listeners and reading their profile if you wish to get one that you feel would be most beneficial.

Of course not :) listeners are here to listen with love and for free. Their salary is an opportunity to meet new friends :)

no, listeners are volunteers and you don' t have to pay for talking to them . so no need to stress for your finances : ) The same with the chatroom , the forums , the growth path , the self help guides , etc . The only paid option is the therapists and the personalized paths . But both are totally facultative and will not affect your experience as a member if you don 't have access to them . So Enjoy your time here for F R E E ! Yes !
