In this episode I talk about the work I did with one client and her suicidal thoughts. I discuss the link between eating issues and suicidal urges, and offer some questions you can ask yourself to give you some distance between yourself and this kind of overwhelm.

Be aware that the topic discussed is passive suicidal ideation – thoughts such as “I just don’t want to be here anymore” – as opposed to a definite intent to take one’s own life.

This episode contains an extract from an episode of my other podcast Harry Potter Saved My Life, which is available here:
