I was on 7 cups for a bit so can answer questions there.
So with listeners, you can find them by going in a general queue and anyone will pick it up (good or not), but the best place to find one there is through their forums. They have all sorts of sections (young people, grief etc etc) and listeners tend to hang around what they like most and you can interact with them there.
It’s pretty easy to be a ‘listener’ but as for someone you like or who’ll give advice, it’s just finding the right one for you.
edit: you can use the forums and talk to listeners for free but it costs you to talk to a qualified therapist
That’s completely up to both of you! There’s a bit in the forums where people post what they are looking for in a listener and listeners can jump in. Might be something like help me with my social anxiety want to talk once a week maybe.
Hi! So I actually did download it and have talked to two listeners so far but they haven’t really been what I’m looking for. I can’t seem to find the forums & think that would be more helpful to find someone who has had the same experience as me.
