The Trustworthy Self Retreat is an educational and reflective personal-development retreat. It is not psychotherapy, group therapy, medical treatment, psychiatric care, addiction treatment, or crisis intervention.
The Trustworthy Self is operated by Hale & Wise LLC. The retreat is facilitated by Neil W. Smith and is not conducted by licensed mental health professionals unless otherwise specifically stated. Participation is voluntary, and attendees are responsible for deciding what they choose to share and how they apply the ideas discussed.
Nothing presented during the retreat should be taken as medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, or professional advice. Anyone currently experiencing acute distress, a mental health crisis, active addiction crisis, suicidal thoughts, or a medical or psychiatric emergency should seek appropriate professional help immediately. If you are in crisis or considering self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
Participants are encouraged to maintain any existing care relationships with physicians, therapists, counselors, sponsors, recovery groups, or other qualified professionals.
