Reasons To Live

For those buffeted by the dark thoughts of suicidal ideation, this book offers antidotes to such darkness, planting the seeds of hope, encouragement, and emotional resilience in the process. Compiled from the case histories of 1000's of client presentations worldwide, Reasons to Live represents the voices of those who made it through darkness into light, and speaks to those desire to do likewise. Steve Taylor, a New Zealand-based Family & Relationship Therapist and author, says that Reasons To Live is designed to privately meet a person in their pain, at whatever level, and to give them a narrative companion to journey with, towards an embedded ultimate hope in life. As the title suggests, Reasons To Live offers an antidote to potentially destructive forward thinking or action, recognised commonly as Suicidal Ideation. The serialised chapter book format and text will be most useful to individuals struggling to make sense of their current life circumstances, and to families and friends who wish to offer a supportive and encouraging resource to a loved one whose circumstances are at risk of overwhelming them. This is Chapter 1 of the "Reasons" series, and further chapters will be released over time.
