By talking about or asking about suicide in a caring way, you cannot put the idea into someone's head.
Have you ever felt like the weight of the world was too much to bear? In this deeply moving episode of 'Soul Sessions with Jodie Gale', Fiona Livingstone, the founder of Find Hope, opens up about her harrowing journey through depression, bulimia, and trauma. She also shares the heart-wrenching story of her father's suicide and how it shaped her path towards helping others. Fiona now dedicates her life to running workshops aimed at preventing and healing those impacted by suicide.
Throughout the episode, Fiona sheds light on two critical psychological states: perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. She explains how these feelings can contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors, particularly among those struggling with eating disorders. Fiona doesn't shy away from discussing the tough questions: Why do people attempt suicide? Why don't they reach out for help? And how can we, as friends or family, recognize the signs and offer support?
One of the most powerful messages Fiona shares is that talking about suicide in a caring way doesn't plant the idea in someone's head; rather, it opens a door to understanding and support. She debunks common myths surrounding suicide and emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help. Through her own experiences and insights, Fiona provides a beacon of hope for those feeling lost in their darkest moments.
Jodie Gale's compassionate interviewing style allows Fiona's story to unfold naturally, making this episode both enlightening and deeply empathetic. Whether you're struggling yourself or want to support someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice on navigating the complex terrain of mental health and suicide prevention.
