The Power of Life Design: When I moved to downtown San Francisco in June of 2024, everyone thought I was crazy, but my decision was quite strategic. Immerse myself in a diverse and complex city, significantly downsize/sell/donate/throw away over half of my possessions, walk daily, take public transportation, share housing amnesties and indoor/outdoor space with others, impose restrictions on myself living by the rules of my building community, lean outside my comfort zone, feel the heartbeat of the city, create new opportunities, leave behind my childhood dream of living in a redwood forest. Visit christinedickson.com

I’m still learning, I’m still growing here in San Francisco, and I might never return to my old life in the redwood forest. Even though I live in a luxury high rise, wealthy people in my building are humbled by this city. You can’t be flashy or stand out in this city, or you risk being attacked / robbed. As a result, you are humble, more considerate of others, and more compassionate.

In San Francisco we are grateful for your opportunities because we know that luck is a big determining factor of our success. There is not a day that goes by that we take our good fortune for granted, which is why San Franciscans are more understanding of people who are unlucky and unfortunate.

I grew up surrounded by family I deeply admired. My parents were incredibly loving and self-sacrificing; my father spent three decades as a chemist working for a Swiss pharmaceutical company, while my mother managed our home before beginning a career in accounting. Together, they volunteered weekly at our church. Growing up next door to my grandparents was equally impactful. They were resourceful, resilient and creative, and together volunteered at the food bank and homeless shelter. I have one sibling, my brother who is my best friend. He is a successful business owner and started his entrepreneurial endeavors at 16 years old! I am very proud of my family and lucky I had such wonderful role models.

Below is a photo of me and my beloved father when I was a child. I was blessed to have a father that would drop everything to talk to me or help me. I had a very open and trusting relationship with my father. He was a very good listener both compassionate and understanding throughout my entire life.

“Be strong” was the rule they learned long before they understood the cost. In many families, strength is praised while vulnerability is quietly punished. Crying is “dramatic.” Fear is “weakness.” Asking for help is “burdening others.” ➡️ Visit christinedickson.com for more information.

Children raised with this rule become adults who hold everything together such as careers, relationships, crises while internally collapsing. They collapse alone because they were taught that needing support is a failure.

People who learn to “be strong” often carry a private, unbearable weight. They look capable, competent, composed. But inside, they may feel trapped, exhausted, and invisible.

And when the pressure becomes overwhelming, the forbidden emotion has nowhere to go but inward. They tend to engage in self-criticism, isolation and sometimes self-harm or even suicidal thoughts.

If someone you love seems endlessly strong, please look closer. Ask how they are really doing. Ask how they feel when no one is watching.

If you were raised to equate strength with silence, your pain is still real. You don’t have to hold everything in. Reaching out is strength. Letting yourself be seen is strength. Choosing life is strength.

If you or someone you love feels like there is no safe way out except death, please call or text 988 for immediate support.

“Don’t make things difficult” was the rule they grew up with. Many people who live with suicidal thoughts learn this rule early in life. In many families, this message is subtle but powerful: don’t upset anyone, don’t ask for too much, don’t create waves. Over time, children who absorb this rule learn to minimize their needs, minimize their pain, and make themselves small. ➡️ Visit christinedickson.com for more information.

And when pain becomes overwhelming, they often turn it inward. They blame themselves, punish themselves, harm themselves because expressing hurt outwardly feels forbidden.

People who internalize this rule become experts at being “easy,” “low-maintenance,” and “no trouble at all.” But inside, they’re carrying burdens far too heavy to keep silent.

Silencing your needs doesn’t protect anyone. It isolates you.
And the fear of being “a problem” can make it feel impossible to ask for help even when you’re drowning inside.

If someone you love rarely complains, asks for support, or rarely expresses frustration… please check in on them. Ask what they’re holding back so they don’t have to carry it alone.

If you are struggling, your pain is real. Your needs matter.
Reaching out isn’t “being difficult.” It’s reclaiming your right to express yourself.

If you or someone you love feels like there’s no way out except death, please call or text 988 for immediate support.

"Keeping up appearances was the unspoken law in their family." Many people who live with suicidal thoughts learn this rule early in life. You smile when you’re breaking inside. You achieve, you perform, you stay productive because vulnerability feels unsafe. You become so skilled at hiding pain that even those closest to you can’t see it. -> Visit christinedickson.com for more information

Behind the appearance of control is often unbearable loneliness. The pressure to look “fine” can make reaching out feel like failure. When in truth, it’s an act of courage.

If someone you love seems strong and “put together,” don’t assume they’re okay. Ask how they really are. Listen without fixing, judging, or offering quick answers.

If you are struggling, your pain is real, and help is possible. Reaching out doesn’t break the family code; it rewrites it.

If you or someone you love feels like there’s no way out except death, please call or text 988 for immediate support.

She cut her stomach with a razor every night, even though she was a popular straight-A student. No one suspected that this quiet perfectionist was in pain. On the outside, she seemed to have everything together: grades, friends, an amazing future. But on the inside, her emotions felt unbearable. Self-injury wasn’t about wanting to die; it was about trying to survive feelings she couldn’t manage or express. -> Visit christinedickson.com for more information

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I’ve learned that self-injury is rarely about seeking attention or wanting to die; it’s about release. It’s a way to cope with unbearable emotions. It momentarily numbs the pain or gives a sense of control when life feels overwhelming. But the relief never lasts. What heals is not punishment or willpower; it’s validation, understanding, and developing new skills to regulate emotions and tolerate distress.

If someone you care about is self-injuring, don’t shame them or panic. Stay calm. Ask how they’re feeling, not why they’re doing it. Help them feel heard, not judged. Healing starts with connection, not correction. Please visit christinedickson.com/contact for more information or to schedule an appointment.
