About Seen & Heard

We can often feel disconnected from other people in our day to day lives. People hear you, but often are too caught up in their own internal dialogue to really listen. Seen and Heard is a chat app that invites you to a have a deeper connection with people. This is a place where you can talk about things that are important to you… how you’re feeling and what’s going on inside you. It’s a place where you will be deeply listened to and since all chats are anonymous, you can be honest and real.

What to Expect

When you login you will be brought into a video chat room with two other people. Each session lasts for 30 minutes and users are expected to stay as active participants during the entire session.

A session begins with a short 2-minute introduction period where you all can talk together and introduce yourselves.

After that is a 6 minute period where two participants are muted and one is allowed to speak freely about whatever is on their mind. There are no restrictions as to what you can talk about. The other two participants just listen giving their whole attention to the speaker.

This is followed by a two minute time for sharing and reflection from the two listeners. Then another share begins and the process is repeated until all three shares are heard. Finally there is a four minute period where all users can share about anything that was said and say their goodbyes.

This format expects attention from all participants for the duration of the session, Each session is 30 minutes and participants should not be distracted during this time. This will allow each user, including yourself, to get the full attention of the others.

We think you’ll be surprised at how good actually being listened to can feel!
