• None of Dr. Goulston’s patients have killed themselves.
  • He practices and preaches surgical empathy.
• Keep those who struggle company until they do not need it.
  • Keep them company when they feel hopeless and tell them you hear their pain.
    • We can do this with the ones we love.
• Ask people what upset them the most that day and support them.
  • This is also a great way to help your teenagers.
    • Ask them which emotion they felt, then asking them how MUCH of that they felt.
      • Making them express this feeling rather than imagine it can really help them.
• Letting people talk things out without jumping down their throat without providing a solution helps many.
  • They may cry –– don’t jump in to shut them down, let them get through it.
• Check in with your loved ones every day with this process.

MASKING PAIN 

• Lots of women talk about not being able to find their warmth and provide it to their kids.
• Many parents are trying to just keep the train on the rails.
• The kids want the warmth that their moms try to provide (but may not be able to because they carry heavy burdens).
  • Instead, kids turn to comfort foods.
    • Food is a blanket for so many––children and adults alike.
• Food is a way many try to make the pain go away for the time-being.
• This does not work long term.
• Getting healthier can improve your mental health.
