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.
Confronting suicidal thoughts requires immediate, compassionate intervention. My approach provides a safe space for clients to express their feelings and work towards a place of hope and healing. Using crisis intervention techniques and safety planning, I support clients in finding reasons to live and coping strategies to manage their pain.

Suicide is an unfortunate reality that many people have some sort of connection with either because they have faced suicidal thoughts, or they know someone who committed suicide. People with suicidal thoughts (the idea of killing themselves) typically feel like suicide is the only choice. Those people might feel desperation, an overwhelming, constant emotional pain, and a belief that their life has no worth. It is a hard reality to face as suicidal ideation can be caused by a multitude of factors ranging from genetic to environmental factors. Ultimately, suicide claims that more lives than homicide and war every year.

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.
