Rayah is suicidal, but don't panic. This episode goes deep into her most recent downturn as well as some of the contributing factors. Domestic violence, isolation, and emotional abuse. For millions, suicidal ideations and intrusive thoughts are a part of life. Talking about this subject saves lives.







Rayah also tells how past trauma impacts our ability to process current crisis. We will learn about the amygdala hijack and why panic renders some of us speechless. The roles of adrenaline and cortisol during dangerous situations, whether real or perceived.







Walking someone through a suicidal period can be scary and intimidating without some education and understanding. This episode is designed to help shed light on trauma, suicidal ideations, and how to help without knowing what to do.
