“Later, working as a therapist, I fell into the same trap. When you become afraid that a client may commit suicide, you become anxious, and as your anxiety increases, your urge to control the client increases, too. So for awhile, my experience with clients was the same one the Institute had with me. I eventually learned that trying to control a suicidal person makes them worse, not better. Instead of reducing dysfunctional behaviour, trying to control it can reinforce-or promote-the behaviour. This insight became important in my work as a therapist.”
