This course addresses the intersection of trauma, dissociation, suicidality, and self-harming behaviors. It critically examines the limitations of traditional suicide prevention methods (such as no-harm contracts), and instead promotes trauma-informed, relational, and ethical frameworks for working with high-risk clients. Using theories like infanticidal attachment, Joiner’s interpersonal theory of suicide, and dissociative fragmentation models, the course offers advanced strategies for clinical engagement, attunement, and safety planning. Designed for clinicians, it emphasizes cultural humility, parts work, and nervous system regulation in the therapeutic process.
