Stacey Freedenthal, PhD, LCSW commented on Talking Back to Suicidal Thoughts.
Maybe this will bring us a new member or two. While the good doctor is, of necessity, against suicide she does have some good thoughts on how to live with ideation.

Quote:Excellent article! As one who spent way too much time in suicidal ideation I heartily concur with the concept of âtalking backâ to the suicidal thoughts. âThatâs foolish!â, âOh, thatâs gonna hurt!â, âIt isnât gonna last!â and a slew of other ways to let my, and I love the idea, Defense Attorney have his say.
Thank you for your feedback, Al. Those are great comments for rebutting the suicidal thoughts.
I am intrigued by your website chronicsuicidesupport.com. It is great that your site offers support to people with recurrent or longstanding suicidal thoughts. this group faces a great deal of stigma and resistance in the mental health field. Your website reminds me that I will need to write a post about this sometime soon. Thank you.
