Introduction
Every day about 123 Americans die by suicide. And, rates of suicide are increasing every year. As therapists, we need to know why people ideate, attempt and die by suicide at increasing rates, and how to address it therapeutically to strengthen a person’s resolve to stay alive, by relieving the feelings that caused the ideation.
Join the SWEET Institute and Jodi Aman, LCSW-R and learn about:
- Why people ideate about suicide & the difference between suicide and self-harm,
- The best way to get into re-authored conversations when someone is thinking about suicide,
- The critical commitment to getting your client to stop cutting, and
- How to assess needing a higher level of care.
Jodi Aman, LCSW-R has been a psychotherapist for over two decades. After earning her master’s in social work at Columbia University in 1996, she received an Advanced Post-Graduate Certificate in Narrative Therapy in 2006, and joined the faculty at Dulwich Centre to teach Narrative Therapy in the U.S., Canada, China, Ireland, Mongolia, Australia, and Norway, focusing on couples, teens, trauma and anxiety recovery. Her popular YouTube channel, Practical Miracles, teaches people to understand themselves, evolve past fear, and finally release that internal self-critic. Having clawed her way out of her own emotional crisis, Jodi shares her story of stepping into her personal power, and that of many of her clients in her bestselling book You 1, Anxiety 0, Win your life back from fear and panic. Her anxiety workbook for teens will be released in July 2020.
