Understanding Suicide Through a Trauma-Informed Lens with Janel Cubbage

So suicide is something that I expect to be present more often than not in my clinical work just because of the link between suicidality and having experienced trauma.
When it comes to the delicate subject of suicide, understanding its connection to trauma can be a game-changer. In this thought-provoking episode of Complex Trauma Recovery, host Kina Penelope sits down with Janel Cubbage, a suicidologist and trauma-informed therapist, to unravel the complexities surrounding suicidal tendencies and trauma. They dive deep into how trauma impacts suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and explore strategies for effective prevention.
Janel brings her extensive experience to the table, shedding light on how mental health professionals can better support clients dealing with suicidality. She emphasizes the importance of a trauma-informed approach, which goes beyond traditional methods to address the root causes of distress. This conversation isn't just for professionals; it's for anyone seeking to understand the intricate dance between trauma and suicide.
The episode also touches on broader social justice issues and the systemic changes needed to create a more supportive environment for those at risk. Janel and Kina discuss the cultural shifts necessary to address the political and societal factors contributing to mental health struggles. If you're looking to gain valuable insights into suicide prevention from a trauma-informed perspective, this episode is a must-listen.
It's not just about strategies; it's about creating a compassionate and informed approach to one of the most challenging aspects of mental health.
