Everyone Should See a Therapist

June 10, 2019/ Gordon Corsetti
Everyone Should See a Therapist

We talk about fighting for our lives and the lives we want, and then get squeamish about having someone nearby who can see what we cannot and provide valuable advice.

Gordon Corsetti Mental Agility Foundation

Life on the 7th Shelf is my way of sharing how a person can live well with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

The 7th Shelf was written by Dante in The Inferno, as the Wood of the Suicides.

For me, living on the 7th shelf is challenging but I have found my means for winning the daily battle against the worst my mind can throw at me.
