When our relationships break apart, that's when people tend to be more vulnerable, and that's why getting your relationships right- in my new book- feel better, fast and make it last- there's a whole chapter on attachments and how important they are, because if your relationships aren't right, you're not right.
What drives someone to take such a final, heart-wrenching step as suicide? In this thought-provoking episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle the complex social factors that often play a role in suicidal thoughts and actions. As part of their Suicide Awareness Week series, they shed light on how anger, relationships, and social circumstances can contribute to this devastating decision. Dr.
Amen and Tana begin by exploring how individuals who commit suicide sometimes act out of anger, aiming to cause pain to specific targets. They stress the importance of considering social contexts when evaluating depression and suicidal tendencies. Relationship issues like divorce and custody battles can significantly increase vulnerability to suicidal thoughts, making it crucial to understand the dynamics at play. The episode also dives into the importance of healthy attachments in relationships. Dr.
Amen discusses insights from his book 'Feel Better Fast and Make It Last', emphasizing that strong, positive relationships are essential for overall well-being. The hosts offer practical tips for improving relationships, such as practicing empathy, being a good listener, and assertively communicating in a kind manner. But it’s not just about relationships; the episode also highlights how volunteering can have a positive impact on the brain, particularly the hippocampus, which is responsible for learning and memory.
Tana shares a touching personal story about her recent religious experience and how it positively affected her mental health. For anyone looking to understand the social causes of suicide better and seeking ways to strengthen their relationships, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice that could make a real difference in your life.
