Suicidal Thoughts
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
In my experience suicidal thoughts are the mind's way of letting us know that we are overwhelmed by our emotional, mental & psychological pain. Supporting people around this issue requires empathy, understanding & compassion. This is important because individuals need to feel able to be open & honest about suicidal ideation & thoughts. As a professional I have worked with countless people around this issue, which often goes hand in hand with depression and/or a trauma background. I feel I have the skill to build the necessary relationship to effect change & to help people who are vulnerable to harm to learn to protect themselves.

Suicidal Thoughts
Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
As a counsellor working with a suicidal client, I will ask the client if they have any thoughts of self-harm or suicide. I will also ask how serious they are about it and whether or not they would carry out this behaviour.
If they have any thoughts of suicide or self-harm, I will ask them to give me their thoughts on how they would commit this behaviour. As a counsellor, I would use a scale to measure how often these thoughts occur. After collecting these details, I can then determine if I can help my client or refer them to a crisis support team.

Movement with Steph
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh
More people than you thin experience suicidal thoughts. Sometimes they can be passive and fleeting other times they can be quite persistent and detailed. If you experience any suicidal thoughts it is a sign that there is some part of you (big or small) that needs attention. I work with clients to hold space for all of their emotions, including the pain, suffering, hurt, and unbearably tough emotions and experiences that can often lead us to have suicidal thoughts. I not only aim to help clients find strategies to manage and regulate these emotions and experiences, but I also aim to help them understand themselves and their needs better in order to help them find what they are truly seeking.
