I really like hearing Amanda's perspective and what was helpful in her journey.

Instructors seemed to have a passion for the subject.

Great course!

This training has changed how I practice and it is learning a humanistic new language to working with those who have suicidal thoughts. I appreciate this training and this approach and hope to learn more about integrating this approach into my practice and non-profit as I believe this method is far more effective than any other training I have ever taken.

Visual aids were very helpful.

This was an excellent program, very pleased, and it made me pay better attention to being present and recognizing my own fears and panic.

Great Course. I was dreading the topic as I am already busy and full time LCSW. But I really appreciated that you started with the therapist POV. YES. I am the filter by which I interact with a client. How I feel about the topic of suicide is important.
Starting with this approach of therapist POV provided more space to consider another's suffering. I am thankful for Amanda's honest story. I believe her when she speaks about this topic. Also, I was a huge fan of discussion of spirituality and coping skills in a therapeutic humanistic approach.

Nice presenting, as always.

Give me a good starting point in terms of suicide management.

This was an excellent course. I don't have a ton of experience with the Gestalt approach, but I'm fascinated by it and it was interesting to learn about some of the course's points through this lens. I think more than anything, hearing the passion in the presenter's voice, about Gestalt and navigating Suicidality with clients was inspiring. I also appreciated the mention of specific books and treatments/interventions, for further learning. I've added "The Suffering Stranger" by Donna Orange to my reading list.
