Suicidal Thoughts
North Star Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Suicide is intentionally taking your own life. We usually try to differentiate between suicidal thoughts (sometimes called suicidal ideation) and suicidal actions (sometimes called suicidal behavior or suicide attempts). Not everybody who has suicidal thoughts will make a suicide attempt, but it can be difficult to predict who is most at risk for dying by suicide. People with thoughts of suicide are sometimes hesitant to tell others about it because of a fear of being judged, involuntarily hospitalized, or losing something. However, we've worked with a LOT of suicidal clients, so we don't get scared easily.
For treating this, we typically use Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT), which shares the same components of CBT, but is much more abbreviated and focused. When BCBT is used for decreasing suicide risk, it involves 10-12 weekly, one-hour appointments where we focus on keeping you alive, identifying the underlying reasons for wanting to die by suicide, and figuring out how to make changes that increase your desire for living. BCBT has a good track record for helping clients reduce their suicide risk and can feel very transformative.
