On this episode of GROUP, we debunk some dangerous myths about suicide, and we break down what to do if you or a loved one is having suicidal thoughts. We do so with the help of psychotherapist and suicidologist, <a href="http://staceyfreedenthal.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Stacey Freedenthal,</a> author of “<a href="https://www.helpingthesuicidalperson.com/" target="_blank">Helping the Suicidal Person: Tips and Techniques for Professionals</a>,” and the woman behind <a href="http://speakingofsuicide.com" target="_blank">speakingofsuicide.com</a>. A trigger warning that we briefly discuss self-harm, and the myth that cutting means suicidality.
