In this video, I explain the three distinct types of suicidal ideation I've observed throughout my career—and why treating them all the same often leaves people feeling even more alone.We explore analytical suicidal ideation, inexplicable suicidal ideation, and emotional suicidal ideation, what separates them, and why each requires a different path toward healing. If you've ever thought, "The advice everyone gives me doesn't actually help," this conversation may finally put words to your experience.If you're in immediate danger or believe you may act on suicidal thoughts, contact your local emergency services or a crisis service right away. My hope is that this discussion helps you better understand what you're experiencing so you can find the kind of support that truly fits your needs.
