Manage episode 445363676 series 3608406
Ever stared off a balcony and thought, 'What if I jumped?' or saw a train and imagined yourself jumping in front of it? Welcome to the murky waters of Suicide OCD. I'm Erin, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and certified OCD specialist. Join me as I explain Suicide OCD—how it differs from general suicidal ideation, the intrusive thoughts and images you grapple with, and most importantly, how to reclaim your peace. We'll tackle the importance of professional support, explore coping versus compulsions, and break down evidence-based treatments through rebellious sarcasm and tough love.
