Listen "Suicidal thoughts: The Desire for Rebirth"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores how severe depression and suicidal thoughts often come from a longing for spiritual or ego death rather than a wish to end life. It explains how rigid identities, shame, and unprocessed trauma can trap people and make suffering feel permanent.
The host argues that simply telling someone "don't kill yourself" is not enough and offers a path forward: face the darker parts of yourself, understand and forgive the past, let go of fixed identities, and allow change to create space for healing and renewal.
