SUICIDE PREVENTION EXERCISES

A person who experiences suicidal thoughts may show feelings of being trapped or hopeless, as well as feelings of intolerable emotional pain. This is a high anxiety state where the individual experiences personality changes, depression, panic attacks, and isolation and considers himself a burden to others, unable to experience pleasant emotions. It speaks of suicide by expressing regret for being alive or having been born, keeping thoughts and feelings hidden without showing signs that something is wrong.For this reason it is necessary to ask the person if he or she is thinking of committing suicide since this does not increase the risk, and if it allows him or her to be heard and to be encouraged to ask for help, as well as to provide adequate accompaniment once the crisis has been overcome in order to avoid the risk of committing the suicidal act.The person who decides to commit suicide is usually going through a period of suffering, which he is not able to face and is plunged into a state of desperation whose only way out he visualises is death as liberation.In the book the reader is presented with physical and psychological exercises, according to some typologies that are presented as an important contribution to save lives by avoiding suicide.
