Re: Topic Tuesday // What online peer support looks like // Tues 16th July, 7pm-9pm AEST

Thanks goodness it's only 7pm at my end (here).

If it was 9pm here, I would be too tired & unable to participate (that's way too late at night for me).

Thanks so much @nashy and everyone for a great discussion. So much in it ❤

Re: Topic Tuesday // What online peer support looks like // Tues 16th July, 7pm-9pm AEST

I learned empathy to mean getting down alongside someone and walking along with them in their circumstances, even simply through the act of listening, and feeling for them, experiencing something of the feelings they are bearing ..... whether familiar or not .... being in the moment with them.

 

Sometimes, for many reasons, that’s not welcome from up close .... but that doesn’t mean feelings can’t carry across a bit of distance .... and here on the forums sometimes it’s in the Post / Support button form.

Nite nite @nashy  and all.  

@nashy  'congruence' is another word I really love - thankyou for mentioning it.

Re: Topic Tuesday // What online peer support looks like // Tues 16th July, 7pm-9pm AEST

Thanks @nashy 

 

@Former-Member  I hope it’s okay to say this.

 

I feel what you said is as valid as anybody else’s comments.  We are not all built the same way, and there are others who feel like you do who are not here putting their comments forward tonight, but they have spoken out on the forums before.

It’s good to hear it.

There is room for everybody if we are open to it.
