    EP 497 Understanding Suicide: Breaking the Silence and Offering Hope

    Episode Summary: In this episode of "Celeste, the Therapist" podcast, I delve into the critical and often taboo topic of suicide. I start by welcoming both new and longtime listeners, expressing my gratitude for their support. I explain the purpose of the podcast, which is to help people understand why they get stuck in certain areas of their lives and provide practical tools to shift their thinking. Today's episode focuses on suicide, a subject many avoid discussing due to the misconception that talking about it might encourage suicidal behavior. I emphasize the importance of transparency and education in addressing this issue. I share alarming statistics, such as the fact that over 720,000 people die by suicide each year, and it is the third leading cause of death among 15 to 29-year-olds. I outline common risk factors, including mental disorders, physical ailments, substance abuse, and high-stress situations. I then provide a comprehensive list of strategies and tools to help those struggling with suicidal thoughts or supporting someone who is. These include seeking professional help, regular check-ins, engaging in meaningful activities, limiting access to means, and making healthy lifestyle choices. I also stress the importance of creating a safety plan, developing coping strategies, and building a support network. I share resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line for immediate help. Throughout the episode, I aim to empower listeners with knowledge and practical advice, encouraging them to approach the topic with empathy and understanding. I conclude by inviting listeners to support my work through my books, wellness center, and upcoming classes, and I encourage them to share the episode with others who might benefit from it. Thank you for tuning in, and until next time, take care. Tune in to learn more about combating overthinking and how to embrace a positive outlook as we head into the new year!
