My first Shift as a Crisis Counselor with Crisis Text Line

in volunteering •  7 years ago 

Wow @kristyleann that is amazing! First of all, thank you. I personally value this type of work so much and for you to volunteer to do this is taking it to another level. Secondly, it's so true - most of the time we just need someone to listen. It doesn't even matter what was said most of the time, just that we were heard. I do this a lot with webcam journaling and found it to be incredibly effective. I'll turn on my webcam and start recording my thoughts and feelings. Although I don't share these recordings, just the simple knowing that I am being heard by something (the webcam and myself) is enough to feel much much better.

Go you @kristyleann! And thanks for sharing :) I'd love to hear your thoughts about my recent post as it might help you with future conversations you have on your crisis support journey: These Three Words Will Instantly Change How You Perceive Your Life

Webcam journaling is a really good idea. I might try that myself. I used to write in a journal but I got away from it a few years ago...I've been meaning to start again though.

And I checked out your post and left a comment and upvoted it. I think it's really great advice. :)
