“I don’t want to be here anymore.”
These words strike fear in the hearts of all therapists. Suicidal ideation in clients reminds us of the reality that pain may be so deep and pervasive that someone would think of ending their life. They also raise questions of our legal and moral responsibility for the lives of others.
This workshop will explore suicidal ideation through a trauma-informed lens. We will discuss how to assess for and treat risk, and use our ongoing treatment to understand suicidal thoughts and action as a meaningful strategy for dealing with painful history and the challenges of daily life.
In this workshop we will:
- Explore the legal responsibility therapists have regarding suicidal thoughts and behavior
- Learn the important risk factors for suicide
- Techniques for exploring suicidal ideation and intent in the present moment
- Understand suicide as a resourcing strategy
- Explore the meaning of the suicidal
- Discuss the impact of treating suicidal clients on the therapist
