Life can feel hopeless at times and maybe we turn to suicidal thoughts as a way out. Although thinking about suicide is scary to some, it really is a common complaint. Let's talk about how your thoughts may be exploring suicide and begin to get at the root of your feelings. Validation of this intense feeling is step one in moving toward a more hopeful way of living.

AS Counsellor working with Suicidal Thoughts.
Firstly ask the client "Are you having any thoughts of suicide or self-harm. If yes how long have you had these thoughts when they happen?.
Ask how serious do you feel about carrying out these thoughts. Or if you left here right now how what us the likelihood that you would follow through with your thoughts about killing your self.
For plan. I would ask. Have you given though to how you would kill/harm yourself.
As a Counsellor I would use 0-10 scale to measure how often do they have these thoughts. After I have asked these questions I would have a much better understanding of my clients current level of suicidality. Then I will be able to know if I can work with my client or refer them to their GP or someone else more experience in Suicidal cases.

Suicidal thoughts come in many different forms. They might be vague thoughts like, if I died all this would go away. They might be more certain with an actual plan in mind for what you want to do. However these thoughts appear in your mind, they are pointing at a level of pain you are feeling that can feel overwhelming and that you see no way out of. We often cannot see a solution by ourselves. If we keep our pain inside, we deny ourselves the chance to see another perspective. Sometimes just being given permission to say it all out loud can bring enough release to then start considering alternative solutions. Don't suffer alone. Give yourself a chance to see if there could be a different way out of your pain. Whatever you feel is ok, your thoughts are your own, and only you can decide if you want to try something different/
