We Should Eliminate the Word "Should"

So many should’s. So much added weight to my psyche. So many expectations left unfulfilled.

The Aggregation of Marginal Gains

Our minds are excellent at recognizing sweeping changes, but pretty awful at perceiving minor shifts over long periods.

Everyone Should See a Therapist

December 10, 2020/ Gordon Corsetti
Everyone Should See a Therapist

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

The Origin and Meaning of "Suicide"

December 04, 2020/ Gordon Corsetti
The Origin and Meaning of "Suicide"

Combine our biological imperative to live with religious and state-sponsored stigma, and you get a word that can barely be discussed without people rearing back in fear.

What Emotional Tunnel Vision Feels Like

November 21, 2020/ Gordon Corsetti
What Emotional Tunnel Vision Feels Like

Emotional tunnel vision is not a willful attempt to shield oneself from the world. It is a prison within the mind that gradually separates a person from everything they once felt and held dear.

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.
