To guide those who do not want to live, you can follow the following steps:
1. Listening and understanding: Provide a safe and non judgmental environment for them to freely express their inner feelings and thoughts. Listen patiently, do not interrupt, do not underestimate their pain, and make them feel understood and accepted. Expressing empathy, such as: "I know you may be feeling very hopeless and helpless right now, this is a very difficult time
2. Provide hope and encouragement: Remind them that there will always be ups and downs in life, and although it may be difficult now, it is still possible to become better in the future. Encourage them to focus on the beautiful moments and worthwhile goals in life, emphasizing the meaning and value of life. Share some positive stories or experiences to help them see the positive side of life.
3. It is recommended to seek professional help: If the situation is serious, it is suggested that they seek psychological counseling or the help of a psychiatrist. Emphasize that professionals can provide more specific and personalized support and guidance. Encouraging them not to be afraid to seek help is a sign of bravery and positivity in facing problems.
The following suggestions can also be considered:
Companionship and attention: Provide them with continuous companionship and attention as they seek help, making them feel that they are not alone.
Cultivate positive lifestyle habits: It is recommended that they maintain a good daily routine, ensure sufficient sleep and appropriate exercise, and try to cultivate some hobbies to improve their mood and mental state.
Establish a support system: Encourage them to stay in touch with their family, friends, and community, establish a support network, and work together to tackle difficulties.
Everyone's situation is unique and requires personalized support and assistance. During the counseling process, it is important to maintain patience, empathy, and care, and avoid giving unrealistic advice or belittling their feelings.
