Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Suicidal thoughts highlight a significant junction between severe emotional anguish and unhealed relationship trauma. Suicide thoughts might be a symptom of hopelessness stemming from experiences of abandonment, abuse, or neglect, which are woven into the fabric of attachment ties. Trauma, whether explicit or implicit, can deepen the sense of hopelessness and isolation, amplifying the intensity of suicidal ideation. Therapy becomes a lifeline amidst the darkness, offering a safe space to explore the underlying attachment dynamics and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering compassionate connections, addressing the root causes of distress, and developing coping strategies, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of suicidal thoughts, reclaiming a sense of hope, resilience, and purpose in their journey towards healing and renewed vitality.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Psychotherapy can often be beneficial for people who are experiencing chronic suicidal ideation and behavior. However, when individuals are at risk of suicide it is essential that they receive a higher level of care and weekly psychotherapy is not always sufficient on its own to protect those who are in crisis and adequately address risk. Once an individual is no longer in crisis, therapy to treat the underlying causes of suicidal ideation or behavior is typically recommended. The psychotherapy model considers hopelessness to be the strongest contributing factor to suicidal ideation, and a large part of crisis intervention and post crisis counseling aims to restore hope. An individual who continues in therapy once the point of crisis has passed will likely explore ways to resist urges to self-harm, address the factors that led to suicidal thoughts, and create a plan that includes coping strategies and methods to address suicidal thoughts in the event that they recur.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
It can be overwhelming when you're feeling suicidal. You might feel like you have no other option than to act on these feelings. That there’s nothing that will make the thoughts or feelings go away. Or that it’s the only way the pain will stop. Your feelings of pain are very real. But it’s important to know they can pass.
