If you have a loved one who is experiencing suicidal thoughts, you
may feel deeply afraid-both of loss and of saying the wrong thing
and making matters worse. Based on decades of clinical experience
in suicidology, this compassionate guide gives readers the
essential communication techniques and coping skills they need to
support a loved one in crisis, while also taking care of
themselves. If you love someone who is having suicidal thoughts,
you may struggle with the profound fear of saying or doing the
wrong thing. You want to help, and you may even feel a kind of
desperation to make sure your loved one is safe, but are unsure of
where to start. This book can guide you as you support your loved
one-without sacrificing your own needs and well-being. You'll find
the answers to some of your most urgent questions, including: -
What are signs, symptoms, and clues of suicide risk? - How do I
talk with my loved one about their suicidal thoughts? - When should
I call the police? - What treatments are available? - How can I
help the person I care about stay safe? - What can I do to help
them feel better? - What can I do to cope better, too? - What
happens after a suicidal crisis? Written by a psychotherapist and
based on decades of clinical experience in suicidology, this
compassionate guide offers essential communication techniques you
can use to help your loved one, as well as coping and self-care
strategies to help you navigate intense stress, worry, fear, and
anxiety. Drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance
and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindful self-compassion, the
tools in this book will assist you in navigating difficult or
painful conversations with your loved one, as well as manage your
own emotions. If someone close to you is experiencing suicidal
thoughts, you may feel afraid-both of loss and of saying the wrong
thing and making matters worse. This book will help you recognize
warning signs, improve communication, create a safety plan, know
when to seek professional help, and support a loved one in crisis.
