We often discuss that the road to meaningful change involves putting one foot in front of the other day after day.  This is true for long term goals like learning a new language, for example. You practice a bit each day and gradually become better. This is especially true of mental health goals, like managing and even overcoming suicidal thoughts. In this episode we had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Kathryn Hope Gordon about her recently published book, “The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook.” Dr. Gordon’s book creates practical tools and exercises for people to use on an “as needed” basis to develop more positive self-thinking. 

We talk to Dr. Gordon about the theories that shape this book and how she came to apply these clinical ideas to her highly accessible book. Mental health tools come in many packages. If you like the idea of a workbook but want something that you can discreetly take with you, perhaps there’s a mental health app out there that can help you?
