In this episode, I interview Dr. Katie Gordon, a clinical psychologist and the author of the recently published book “The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook.” We talk about her H.O.P.E. approach to helping people cope with and learn from suicidal thoughts.
H = Seek help to broaden ideas about how to manage suicidal intensity.
O = Find optimism by searching for things to look forward to.
P = Change perspective through tools like “opposite action” and by putting your thoughts on trial.
E = Attend to emotions through self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies.
