Tacit's main area of expertise is with clients who are wanting to address their Anxiety/Depression issues (and Suicide Ideation and Suicidal Thoughts are included in these issues) - our team often teaches classes focusing on ways to manage anxiety/depression effectively, and provides supports to family members who want to better understand how to help their loves ones who are struggling with these issues.
Confronting suicidal thoughts requires immediate, compassionate intervention. My approach provides a safe space for clients to express their feelings and work towards a place of hope and healing. Using crisis intervention techniques and safety planning, I support clients in finding reasons to live and coping strategies to manage their pain.
Suicidal thought (SI) is a broad term relating to people wishing, wanting to end their life. Life events, trauma, heavy emoitons can be too painful leading to solutions to fix this.
When life feels so challenging and hope is lost, suicidal thoughts and/or desires to self-harm may arise. I am here to support you in creating a safety plan, developing additional coping mechanisms, providing tools for assessing risk and building upon your resources. While your safety is always my first priority, I also welcome open, honest and non-judgemental conversations about suicidal ideation and self-harm that go beyond surface level safety concerns. I acknowledge the social stigma that exists around topics of suicide and self-harm, which is why I strive to provide a safe space that you may not have otherwise.
