SUICIDE SERIES 3: Suicide Loss & Survivors
“Suicide is always complicated” and “death by suicide is multifactorial and complex and cannot be explained by risk factors alone.” Losing a loved one to suicide can result in a complicated grief response. Survivors can be left with unanswered questions, regrets, challenges around stigma and shame, judgment from others, trauma, police/media interactions, self-blame/guilt, and shock along with a mirage of other emotions.
SUICIDE SERIES 2: Suicide vs. Self-Harm
Self-harming and suicide have different functions.
SUICIDE SERIES 1: Suicidality & Suicidology
I realize, I founded Coriander Living Collective over 4 years ago and I have never wrote a Blog Post on suicide. It’s fairly typical for me to have clients on my caseload with suicidality or past suicide attempts. It is a clinical area where I have competency, extensive training, and experience in treating and managing suicidal behavior. Suicidality is complex, and death by suicide is tragic, having profound impact on survivors. I have personal history with suicide loss like so many others. If you are someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, in deep pain, or if you have been impacted by suicide loss, there is a space for you at Coriander Living Collective. Just reach out.
OUR LIFESTYLES ARE KILLING US + CREATING UNWELL CHILDREN
How come we continue to do so many things that are not good for us and our children? Our lifestyles are killing us and making our children unwell.
For some of us, that’s a literal statement. Mental and physical illnesses are on the rise in this country. High levels of stress, busyness, materialist and autonomous values, a lack of interpersonal connection, climate change, a toxic food system, high electronics use, and disconnection from nature. We are amid a spiritual and cultural crisis.
Coriander Living Collective encourages life satisfaction through connection to self, others, and the world by embracing one’s humanity and lifestyle with insight, intention, and action through psychotherapy & counseling, workshops & retreats, and collective growth practices. Join us!
