Being a relationship adviser is very interesting work for me. I love my
job, and thrive to help everyone who calls me with enthusiasm and
sincere discernment. In a day, I receive many calls that my clients
wouldn't dream of speaking to anyone about if they had to show their
face. Being able to call me by phone gives them a sense of anonymity
without fearing being judged. I will really never know who they are, as I
receive no identifying information about the caller except what they,
themselves decide to disclose to me. Aside from name, I never ask any
identifying information, as it does not affect my ability to advise
those who call me.
I also offer confidentiality in my calls. I do not discuss with others
what I discuss with them. I find that rude and unprofessional. This is
my business and my job, and I want to provide a comfortable and secure
environment for my callers.
I listen to each of my callers intently and there is no subject that I
am not open to discussing. As any adviser or therapist would offer, I am
here to help with issues and problems individuals need help with. I do
not judge or belittle - I simply offer advice in an open manner.
Some of my callers simply need to confess to someone they do not know.
They have hidden feelings and simply must tell someone - someone they do
not know or have to look in the eye. They need assistance processing
their feelings, thoughts and emotions, concluding they are weird or odd.
Many times, they are not either of these things, but have no idea
because they do not discuss these things with others.
I listen to, and keep secrets. I provide a safe place for talking about
things that bother people, that need a solution, that simply need a
listening ear. I love it and I plan on allowing others to confide
anonymously in me for a very, very long time.
