Reaching Home

When I first started my journey with Circles, I was unsure if it would be the same as physical counseling centers. I had learned so much therapeutic techniques and philosophies from that counseling center that I did think I would find that same rich qualities here.

So, I was a little uneasy and skeptical upon entering groups and forums of meeting new people. The first few groups were tough and newer philosophical healing observations and techniques. It was scary at first but I kept coming back for more knowledge which I found out more each day. I’m a lover of knowledge and experience so this is a place that I love to come too.

I had just left one door from my home of 12 years, I didn’t think I could find the right place to help my sanity out. But sticking it out and listening to some great professional facilitators and experienced guide facilitators, I quickly adapted to Circles Philosophy.

Overall, my psychological, emotional, and spiritual wellness has improved and stabilized me without anyone discriminating, criticizing or judging me.

After all the years of finding a beginning to the final door, I have found the final home.

Experience With Circles

It seems that circles is intended as a way to connect with others dealing with issues similar to what you may be going through. I only used the app three times - listening in on a couple group talks and then participated in one group discussion on experiences of narcissistic abuse after which my account was promptly deactivated. This is a warning that although there is possibility to receive and give support - this does not replace an actual licensed therapist and I must say the moderators do not appear to be particularly qualified. The app is advertised as being an anonymous way to connect , but people can choose to follow you from the app on social media and direct message - so it is not really anonymous in the way a crisis text line or hotline is. It takes courage to share experiences and frankly this app does not replace in person support. The fact that as soon as I participated in sharing and was deactivated afterwards shows prejudice and insecurities on part of moderators ‘leading’ groups on this platform. My advice is to seek out a more qualified support by a licensed therapist from sites such as BetterHelp which offer sliding scale therapy. Even texting into a crisis text line is better option as a platform like this where people may be either discriminated against or judged is detrimental to those seriously seeking healing and recovery.

Really excellent guide like Becca should be paid.

Becca is my favorite guide in these rooms! Whenever I get a notification that Becca’s opened a room, I go onto Circles! I think a guide as helpful as Becca should be paid for her time! Perhaps there’s a way circles clients can vote for that? I believe most of the people who’ve been helped by Becca, would all agree, she is a unique gem, here at Circles. We should be paying her for her time, here!! I, don’t want to loose her, myself! More importantly, I don’t want the countless others, worse off then me, to miss out, on being helped by Becca!
Please consider adding other employee options, to Circles. I’m definitely interested!
Thank you!
