Tell Me Your Story...
Hello, I'm Matthew and I would love to hear your story. Your true thoughts, feelings-who you really are. I'm not a trained counselor, psychotherapist or psychologist, but simply an Artist who enjoys listening to people.
Some people crave being in the spotlight. They move comfortably in their external reality and thrive in this realm. And then there are people like me, who feel most in their element being supportive and nurturing. We are naturally anchored in our internal realities and are generally more thought oriented. There are no confessions that really shock us and no wrestling of the soul that we aren't comfortable with exploring. The terrain of the inner life is ever fascinating to us and just observing it is a great adventure.
The idea of becoming a professional listener came to me when I noticed that most of the people I knew, though surrounded by friends and family, still had things they wanted to talk about, but felt they couldn't share it with anyone. When I expressed genuine interest in their struggles, they experienced a kind of relief- that of finally being heard. I recognized that it was a rather rare thing for people to want to listen to others. Thus, my career as a professional listener was born.
