Listeners – a new approach into psychology services

Have you ever felt the need to be heard? Being heard is a wonderfull way to fight loneliness.

But in a money oriented society where everyone wants to be heard and no one is prepared to listen, it’s just expectable that someone will pay to be heard and someone else will be paid to hear.

In a way that is what shrinks do. But a shrink has a lot of skills, training and payment expectation for someone whose job is only to listen.
On the other hand, such a job would require training. Some basic skills and a diploma to increase perceived value would be needed.

This kind of services is typically provided under a brand and a somewhat pyramidal scheme. Something similar to NLP or Swasthya Yoga should be selling training, defining levels, and professionals would keep their incomes.

Such a service would lead us into great social arguments. Someone will oppose saying that we cannot sell “friendship” and such a service is only a lie. Others would defend this service saying that it is a great way to fight loneliness and if it feels good we should do it.
