Dear All,
Alongside the Neurodiversity Practice Group, we have set aside this Mental Health Issues Practice Group as a space for the discussion of practicing with a variety of mental health conditions. Many of our members are included in this demographic and it is the hope that this space is a place in which people can support each other in their practice.
The usual forum guidelines apply, in terms of treating each other with respect, and some are particularly important here, such as not offering medical advice, even if you are a mental health professional outside of Treeleaf, including advising on medications.
The primary focus, as with everything at Treeleaf, is on how we practice with all of life.
This part of Treeleaf, as a subsection of the The Zen of Health Ailments Practice Group forum, will be overseen by our Rev. Kokuu. with Rev. Onki also acting as a moderator and support. Please contact them if you have any questions. (PM Kokuu)
In terms of privacy, this part of the website is behind the Treeleaf firewall so cannot be viewed by non-members. However, everyone who is a member of Treeleaf will potentially be able to see what you write, so please bear that in mind if you are sharing sensitive information. Talking one-on-one with one of our priests or Jundo is always an option if there are subjects you would prefer not to be out in the open.
We hope that this will be an area where members can share the particular issues and obstacles they might sometimes face in practicing with mental health issues, from extreme anxiety, to depression to more. May we all learn from one another, be a helping hand, and continue to honor our Ancestors, including those who struggled with like conditions in the past, and have broken down barriers for us. May we practice with compassion, understanding, and an open heart.
Gassho, Jundo
