It’s been 64 years since su***de was decriminalised in England and Wales.

Words that link su***de with crime can add stigma. Using the word ‘commit’ goes back to when su***de was considered a sin or crime.

We need to create space for compassion and honest conversations. Let’s use words that help, not harm.

Our brains have evolved to protect us from danger.❗💥They’ve learned to take ‘shortcuts’ in how they assess the world around them so that we can respond more quickly.

The downside is that we tend to fall into ‘thought traps’: little tricks that our mind is playing on us (with the best of intention!). These can distort how we interpret things. 🧐

Everybody will fall into these thought traps at times; it’s part of being human.

The good news? Once you can notice them, you can challenge or distance yourself from those thoughts and see the situation in a different and more helpful way.

It’s tough seeing someone you care about going through a hard time - you can feel pretty helpless, right? 😔

It’s been a week of such lovely feedback (completely out of the blue!) 🥹. Thank you for your kind words. It’s such a privilege to be able to make a difference during a difficult time in somebody’s life, and is something that I value whole-heartedly. 💙

“I wanted to thank you for all your support for S, as without your help, S never would have opened up and been able to be her true self… We are seeing more of the real S; she doesn’t feel she has to mask herself and learning what we can do to provide the support she needs is ongoing.

You have been a key part of S’s journey and we are eternally grateful for your support and kindness to her; without you, we would not be where we are today and S would not be in as good a place. We were actually talking about you the other day and the importance of your impact on her”.

I received the most unexpected and heart-warming email recently 🥲. As therapists, we do wonder how our clients are getting on after our sessions come to an end. 💭

Feedback like this is why I am so passionate about my work. Seeing the lasting impact that therapy can make to individuals and families is truly invaluable. 🌱

⤵️

“Thank you again for your support with S, who you discharged almost a year ago now … She's a completely different person from the shell of a girl who first came to see you, and I hope (and have every reason to believe) that she'll continue to blossom as she has been…

I want to thank you for all of your help over that very difficult year, but together with your help and the school, S managed to stay in school, which, there were times when I did wonder if that would be possible… She is looking forward to all the things a [teenager] should be excited about.

I hope lots of people tell you what amazing work you do because the way in which you helped S, myself and my husband, really was more important to us than you could possibly imagine…

Thank you for all of your work, dedication, commitment and kindness when our family was at it's lowest… “
