Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author, Speaker Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross We’d all like to think we’d be able to help if one of our friends or family members expressed emotional anguish and suicidal thoughts. But, if confronted with that situation, what should we do that would help the most, and what should we avoid doing that might make the situation worse? Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross, an Intergenerational Trauma Expert and Eating Disorder Treatment Specialist shares with us how to best support our loved ones who are seriously struggling with thoughts of suicide, such as talking openly and not being afraid to ask the hard questions. She's an internationally known author, speaker, expert, and pioneer in intergenerational trauma's effect on one's body, brain, and beliefs. Dr. Ross teaches millions of people about eating disorder treatment and substance use disorder at Psychology Today and is the author of three books, the most recent of which is The Food Addiction Recovery Workbook. Visit her at her online coaching website. The Anchor Program™.Kathryn also interviews Author Amy Turner. In 1957, when Amy Turner was four years old, her father had to be talked down from a hotel ledge by a priest. The story of his attempted suicide received nationwide press coverage, and he spent months in a psychiatric facility before returning home. From then on, Amy constantly worried about him for reasons she didn't yet fully understand, triggering a pattern of hypervigilance that would plague her into adulthood.In 2010, fifty-five years after her father’s attempted suicide, Amy—now a wife, mother, and lawyer-turned-schoolteacher—is convinced she’s dealt with all the psychological reverberations of her childhood. Then she steps into a crosswalk and is mowed down by a pickup truck—an accident that nearly kills her, and that ultimately propels her on a remarkable emotional journey. She is a graduate of Boston University, with a degree in political science, and of New York Law School, with a Juris Doctor Degree.
