A professional listener is not a psychologist, a life coach, or a psychic.
For much of my life I have always been listening and helping people sort through their inner dialogue. People seem to sense that I am a safe person and I welcome them as I don't feel drained by this kind of meaningful one on one exchange, but rather find a great deal of meaning in being of service in this capacity.
I realized that this was my calling and as I did my research I decided that rather than go the route of being a psychologist, I would rather hone my innate skills and reach out to people who are looking for someone to talk to rather than a therapist.
I believe that empathic listening is invaluable and is something we will be needing more and more as technologies become increasingly ever present. We all have to much to say and too few people to listen.
I hope you will reach out.
