Tell Me More: Humanizing Suicidal Thoughts Now Available on AMAZON
What if suicidal thoughts are not something to fear or hide, but something to understand differently?
In every corner of our society, suicidal thoughts are treated like shameful secrets. They are ignored, stigmatized, and kept silently in the shadows. But avoiding difficult conversations, like these, has not been helpful. Suicidal thinking is only one example of the many hard, emotional realities we tend to try and bury hoping they just go away. But if we thought about them differently, we would no longer have to carry our pain and struggle alone, isolating ourselves.
I chose to write this book in context of suicidal thinking because it represents one of the most severe, urgent, and prevalent challenges of our time. By demonstrating how these communication principles can hold steady under the weight of some of the hardest conversations we may face, readers can be more confident to apply them in any conversation, especially the ones we often avoid.
As a psychotherapist and educator, I am inviting us to rethink the way we talk to ourselves and to one another. I am encouraging us to view suicidal thoughts through a different lens and to understand how awareness, language, and connection can transform our relationships even during our darkest moments.
Tell Me More: Humanizing Suicidal Thoughts deals directly with the topic of suicidal thinking. However, the tools provided can be used in any context. This book is a guide for anyone who has who has experienced pain, conflict, or relational strain, no matter which side of the conversation we may find ourselves on. It offers tools that strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and create psychological safety in even the most delicate or emotionally charged conversations.
Tell Me More is an invitation to boldly shift how we think and talk. It is about breaking the silence not just around suicide, but around the difficult feelings and situations we all face. It replaces fear and stigma with language, dignity, and a practical path forward. When we can learn how to be part of the hardest conversations, we learn how to build connection in every conversation.
Its purpose is simple and urgent: To give every one of us the confidence to talk about what truly matters to not lose one more. #NotOneMore.
What’s Inside?
This is not a crisis manual or a clinical text. It is a human guide to listening, feeling, and finding words when we are struggling with what to do or say. When we shift how we understand and speak about suicidal thinking, we open the door to deeper connection and a more humanized world.
These pages reveal:
• Why suicidal thoughts are a natural response to overwhelming pain, not a personal failure
• How to listen without the pressure of fixing, speak without fear, and connect without judgment
• How three simple words like, “Tell me more” can open life- saving conversations
• Practical tools to recognize distress early and respond with humanity instead of hesitation

Your warmth, humour and passion for your work were a treat to encounter. Regarding the presentation: I was touched by your openness, your compassion for those who are travelling a difficult road, and your encouragement to all who listened. Seeing the group respond to what you had to say, and to one another in the small group activity was evidence that it was a timely message that was well received. Your message of being free to be human, free to feel what we are feeling and the encouragement to have compassion for others and for ourselves gives much food for thought for all who were present, myself included. Thank you.
