SUICIDE SERIES 1: Suicidality & Suicidology

I realize, I founded Coriander Living Collective over 4 years ago and I have never wrote a Blog Post on suicide. It’s fairly typical for me to have clients on my caseload with suicidality or past suicide attempts. It is a clinical area where I have competency, extensive training, and experience in treating and managing suicidal behavior. Suicidality is complex, and death by suicide is tragic, having profound impact on survivors. I have personal history with suicide loss like so many others. If you are someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, in deep pain, or if you have been impacted by suicide loss, there is a space for you at Coriander Living Collective. Just reach out.

Bibliotherapy: LOVE SENSE: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships by Dr. Sue Johnson

In Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships Dr. Johnson shares how “Love is vital to our existence” and highlights the research to support that statement. She expresses concern “A tsunami of loneliness, anxiety, and depression is sweeping through Western societies.” She states that love is not a mystery, that belief is a disservice and leaves us feeling helpless in romantic relationships, “What you understand you can maintain, repair, and even enhance.” She urges ”we have to learn to turn toward each other and reveal our fears and longings” and describes a process of interrupting and dismantling destructive sequences and then constructing emotionally open, receptive ones.

Electrolytes for Mental Health and Overall Wellness!

I am a big proponent of attending to our basic needs to support mental health and wellness. Our foundational survival needs are air, water, food, shelter, and sleep. If our basic needs are not being met, we will suffer physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. When we are struggling, it’s important to address foundational needs as part of treatment.

There is newer science that supports drinking water alone may not be enough to stay hydrated. Especially more active folks or those on restricted diets may require water and electrolytes to hydrate.

Bibliotherapy: Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement by Kevin M. Gilmartin

The last few years have been challenging for law enforcement agencies and officers (LEOs) across our country. LEOs deal with the “maddest, baddest, and saddest” constituents in society. LEOs have a high stress, high stakes job. They are trained and prepared for survival on the streets, but are given little if any training on emotional survival in this high risk role. The current national rates of suicide for LEOs are 2x that of the general population. In his book, Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement: A Guide for Officers and Their Families, police psychologist, Kevin M. Gilmartin states we need to “stop breaking cops.” His book encourages LEOs and their families to make self-directed decisions on how life can function and strategy implementation to insure emotional survival.

Psychotherapy & Support for Law Enforcement, First Responders, & Military Personnel & Families

As I reflect back, it is not surprising to me that I have a history of studying and working within and around the criminal justice system in different capacities. I am called to pursue new avenues and ways of supporting local law enforcement and first responders! This is a population that I believe deeply deserves and needs additional support. If you or a loved one is connected to these populations just reach out!

Release Stress and Claim Joy!

Stress is a common occurrence for many of us! The problem with stress is when it is chronic, overwhelming, or when we don’t have good stress management tools.

The mindfulness, resource-based movement practice of Open Floor International is one of the best ways, I know to release stress and allow the body to self-regulate.
