For TalkersUnload and get perspective with a trained active listener
Nothing quite releases stress like talking to someone who knows how to listen. Sometimes a conversation with an empathic stranger can provide more relief and perspective than words from someone who knows us.
Life is fraught with difficulty. Questions of identity, relationships, purpose, self actualization... and then some. Our listeners are selected for their empathy, then go through extensive training, to help you unpack and reframe your thoughts. Whether you think you're missing out on your college experience, you don't know how to bring up an awkward topic with your friend, or you feel like no one has your back... whatever the problem, our listeners will help you get to the root of your feelings - or redirect you to someone who can if needed. Join Senti if you have something on your chest. Because everyone deserves to be heard. |
For ListenersContribute to someone's well-being by lending an ear
If you've been told by people that you're a good listener, chances are you know why. You don't interrupt the talker, you validate what they're feeling, and you definitely believe in the healing power of lending an ear to someone in need.
You might be interested in psychology too. But above all, you've probably understood how much there is to learn from each human's story. Senti invites you to put those skills to good use by lending an ear to someone who needs it. If peace comes from within, finding it is a whole lot easier when your listener knows how to make you feel heard and ask the right questions. We'll train you to do just that. If you want to contribute to someone's mental well-being, join Senti for a human adventure. We guarantee you'll learn something about yourself on the way too. |
Does talking about our problems actually help?
"When you are feeling very intense feelings — especially fear, aggression or anxiety — your amygdala is running the show. This is the part of the brain that, among other things, handles your fight or flight response. When you get stressed or overwhelmed, this part of your brain can take control and even override more logical thought processes.
Research from U.C.L.A. suggests that putting your feelings into words — a process called “affect labeling” — can diminish the response of the amygdala when you encounter things that are upsetting. This is how, over time, you can become less stressed over something that bothers you."
