- In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch describes despair, hopelessness, or suicidal pain as similar to being in a burning high-rise with no escape from the fire's flames--except to jump. However, unlike the real-life situation, we can find ways to reduce the intensity of our emotional flames until they subside. He calls this "treading fire" and offers practical ways that you can tread fire in your own life.

♥️🙏🕊️
I hope you're doing a little better. Sending you lots of love and light.
Im rooting for you Douglas.
The thing is our brain and body fires chemicals during that critical state that one finds it extremely difficult to think logical thoughts, psychological even Spiritually. But I do get your message. Thanks for sharing.
Best we can do is take advantage of the moments of relief to "tread the flames" and potentially make it easier to get through future moments or times of hell, when possible.
Hi Douglas, always great to hear from you.
Holding the high watch for you Doug.
Thanks so much for everything you have done for me Douglas, My thoughts and prayers and Blessings are with you always, God bless you, You have helped me and so many other's in despair, you are such a lovely person ❤
Hope you're better Douglas 🙏 I've been in despair for such a long time, so lonely. I will pray for us all 🙏
Hey, every time I watch one of your videos I am so grateful people like you are in the world - thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, you wouldn’t believe how much it helps!
Praying for you to find relief from your illness. Your videos have helped me so much with coping and I really appreciate you sharing your personal experiences and current situation.
Your a good spirit!
you are a treasure for humanity sir. thank you for your work. youve helped me so much
💗🙏✨
I'd try to dodge the flames, the high distances scary me.
Still keeping the watch for you Douglas. If you need time to heal more that is God's will for you. You have been strong and can be strong again. Never doubt His purpose for your life. He will reveal it when you put your full trust in Him to make you whole again.
Social support???? One main reason i am in depression and hell is because NO ONE CARES, tired of advice to reach out for social support... I've reached out for years now and no one cares
💚💙🖤🤍
I dont think i can do it anymore
YOU GOT THIS 🙏🏽
You can and you will. You are strong enough. :)
another week gone by, tempus IS REALLY fugit after all.
as for those jumping people from the burning highrise.....remember 9/11...the jumpers. the perfect if somewhat cynical example. these people were in such shock and terror, they believed its safer to jump, i presume.
heres a more abstract pun, you gotta use your FANTASY for this:
if you place a mars bar in front of you and a milky way bar a bit further away, what do you do?
well - youre looking at the milky way from mars!
i hope you still keep walking on through that hell, doug!
