Faced with a suicide attempt, we are in a situation which presents a very high risk and which must lead to this word of honor. You have to be sure of being able to commit completely so as not to end up trying to find a solution. Can we be clear with the patient by telling him that the choice he has made is the result of beliefs?
We cannot communicate our objective to the patient because he will not want to come back to the session. We have to get him to come to those conclusions himself. Because everything that is believed is true and it is on this that we must intervene.
Changing beliefs into information is not enough; you have to go through the emotions to modify the perception which will in turn change the knowledge. The lucid, rational person who says "I'm sick, I can't recover, I want to die" or an employee who, in the context of the economic crisis, has seen his company go bankrupt and finds himself without a job, c 'is different. We are faced with convictions that are based on a concrete reality.
