Your therapist guides the process but you do the work:
Showing up honestly
Practicing skills outside sessions
Taking responsibility for your choices
Being accountable to your growth

Healing isn’t outsourced.
Change begins with you.

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.

Healing is revolutionary

[Resilience Psychology Counselling Practice @Resindiyo]

Therapy is not only for moments of crisis.
It is a safe space to understand yourself, process life’s challenges, and grow. Therapy helps us explore emotions, manage stress, heal from past wounds, and build healthier relationships.
Investing in therapy is investing in yourself

Remember: healing is not about “forgetting what happened,” but about teaching the body and mind that safety, joy, and connection are possible again.

Question for you:
What’s one small thing that helps you feel safe or grounded when life gets overwhelming?

[The HeART Centre (THC) @TheHeartCentre_]

Healing starts with understanding.

In South Sudan, conversations around mental health are often quiet but silence does not erase the pain. Trauma, displacement, and daily stress can live inside the body long after an event has passed.

[The HeART Centre (THC) @TheHeartCentre_]

At The HeART Centre, we believe in transforming pain into possibility.
Through art, storytelling, and community connection, healing becomes something we can practice together.

[Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩 @Ryan_Daigler]

Narcissists will abuse their victims to the breaking point, and then act like they’re the ones “trying to get away” or “trying to set boundaries” from their victim.
They will often try to illicit a reactive response that they can use to paint their victim as the problem, but even when the victim doesn’t react, doesn’t lash out, doesn’t “act crazy” — the narcissist still manufactures a story where they’re the one needing to “escape” or “set boundaries” from their supposedly toxic victim.
The narcissist needs others to believe this in order to maintain their image and avoid accountability.
