Suicidality stems from repressed shame and guilt. Again, this false self-concept has it's roots back to rejection and abuse and will need to be healed in order that suicidal thinking be alleviated from consciousness.
Kate works with suicidal clients, understanding that the subject is complex, requiring continual conversations, as she works together with the client to explore the suicidal thoughts and everything that extends from them.
My experience is that suicidal thoughts arise from situations in life having become unbearable and seeing suicide as the only way out. I listen and do my best to understand where these thoughts are coming from, and together work to find other pathways forward
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.
