Someone to Talk to About Abuse

...read more

Experiencing abuse - whether emotional, physical, or psychological - can be deeply painful and isolating. It can make you feel trapped, powerless, or unsure of where to turn. No one deserves to be mistreated, and seeking support is an important step toward healing. Recognizing that what happened to you is not your fault is the first step in regaining control and rebuilding your sense of self.

Talking to someone about your experience can provide relief, validation, and reassurance that you are not alone. Whether you’re currently facing abuse or working through past trauma, connecting with a compassionate listener can help you process your emotions and explore ways to protect your well-being. Having a safe space to share can make it easier to take steps toward healing and empowerment.

At 7 Cups, trained listeners offer a judgment-free space where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. You deserve to be heard, understood, and supported. If you’re looking for guidance, resources, or just someone to listen, reaching out can be the beginning of reclaiming your strength.

Hi there! I've always enjoyed being a confidant. I believe that everyone needs someone to talk to, and I'm here to be that someone for YOU to talk to. I strive to help people challenge their perspective on difficult situations, in addition to lending a listening ear. I am open to listening about family dynamic struggles, personal challenges, or relationship stressors. Furthermore, any other issue that can be imaginable under the sun, I am willing to listen to, as long as it is appropriate in nature (i.e. not asking for personal details, preferences, etc.)  The cat in my profile picture is Aspen, and she is my sweet little girl. She will always sit with us while I type back replies to you. :) My favorite quote for February: "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we'll change the world." -Jack Layton
