Golden Willow Retreat
Yesterday I read an essay from a person speaking on the topic of the difficulties and barriers from mental wellness and how it can be very flippant for such a large percentage of the population that does not struggle with issues such as trauma, grief, socioeconomic stability, physical health, genetics, other mental disorders, and other issues that seem to be blind or overlooked by many people.
There has been a cognitive dissonance around these issues in which I have even been blamed for “falling into the trap that positive thinking will take care of everything”.

“He did not like me,” O’Neill said. “He just looked at me like, what are you doing out here?”
O’Neill couldn’t coexist with his taciturn coach. He quit the team. Seifert was fired soon after, having won only three of 18 games in his two
