Triggering Elephants In The Room on Mental Health
No matter where you live in the world, the recent stabbings inside Sydney's Westfield Bondi Junction has brought out some heroism, as well as bravery, unresolved trauma, shock, and unconscious and unresolved mental health challenges to name. This circumstance has also brought out kindness and generosity in abundance. All of those elephants in the room, metaphorically speaking. America has g*ns, while Australia has k!iv#s. No country or circumstance is ever perfect. The elephant in the room when it comes to this article in relation to the human psyche for me is writers block right now, among other things that last Saturday (as at the time of writing this particular bit) seemed to have triggered. Based on this unfathomable event, I am doing my best to ensure that this article is part wisdom, part memoir, so that others can also heal.
