Chapter 261 Further Interventions After Cognitive Adjustment for Depression (Non-Exclusive Standard)

After the client exhibits suicidal behavior and the suicide is successfully intervened, it does not mean that the matter has come to an end.

On the contrary, suicidal behavior will continue to have various impacts on the client.

These will introduce many variables into the consulting intervention.

Some clients, after their first suicide attempt, lose the [fear] of "suicide" and even lose [reverence] for such a bottom-line act.

This is a very frightening psychological shift.

Perhaps the first time they used a blade to cut their wrists, or the first time they stepped onto a balcony, their hearts struggled repeatedly; but after this "first time," even minor setbacks might lead them to unhesitatingly choose suicide.

Many things should never be tried.

When others are hesitating about suicide, these clients who have previously attempted suicide might think, "Oh, is that all? I've tried it before, and doing it again is no big deal."
