Suicidal Behavior
and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
(NSSI):
What We Know
What We
Know
(DSM5-TR)
Suicidal Behavior (DSM5-TR)
• This category may be used for individuals who have engaged in potentially
self-injurious behavior with at least some intent to die as a result of the
act. Evidence of intent to end one’s life can be explicit or inferred from the
behavior or circumstances. A suicide attempt may or may not result in
actual self-injury. If the individual is dissuaded by another person or
changes his or her mind before initiating the behavior, this category does
not apply.

What We Know
• Boys vs. Girls
What We
• Girls are 2x more
likely to attempt
suicide than boys.
Repetitive NSSI was more common than episodic NSSI (20.3% vs. 8.3%)
but the frequency of mild injury (12.6%) was similar to that of moderate injury
(11.6%).

Grandclerc, De Labrouhe, Spodenkiewicz, Lachal & Moro, 2016)
Difference between Adolescents who engage in NSSI don’t
indicate desire to end their lives, while
NSSI and suicidal those who attempt suicide may implicitly
behavior in terms or explicitly express desire to die.

As a helper, am I
connected with
myself ?
How Much Do We Know About Ourselves:
The Person of the Helper
• How am I as a helper?
• How do we view ourselves?
• How do we view our students? Our clients?
• How do we feel about ourselves?
• How do we feel about our clients?
Emotions are
information.
• When we experience trauma, our
bodies may become rigid, holding in
the tension … and start to feel like
we are not really in control of them.
Body
Awareness
We are embodied
energy beings.
We need to be
aware of the
language of our
body.
Am I a
Healing Presence?

The Energy Body
The Energy Body:
Scientific Anchors
• Harold Burr: Life Fields
• Rupert Sheldrake:
Morphogenetic Fields
* 14 Meridians * 7 Energy
Centers
Energy Psychology (EP)
EP addresses the relationship of energy systems to emotion, cognition, behavior
and health. These systems and processes exist, and interact, within individuals and
between people. They are also influenced by cultural and environmental factors.
• Within an EP framework, emotional and physical issues are seen, and treated, as bio-
energetic patterns within a mind-body-energy system.
The mind and body are thought to be interwoven and interactive within this mind-body-
energy system, which involves complex communication involving neurobiological
processes, innate electrophysiology, psychoneuroimmunology (PNI),
consciousness, and cognitive-behavioral-emotional patterns.
What happens while tapping
on the EFT points?
• Excess energies,
emotions, and feelings get
loosened out of these
meridians and get
dissolved or neutralized.
