Ep. 81 - From three suicide attempts to a meaningful life | JD Schramm

<p>I found JD Schramm by watching his <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/jd_schramm_break_the_silence_for_suicide_attempt_survivors?language=en">TED talk</a>. In that presentation, he came out, for the first time, about his suicide attempt. What he shared in this interview goes even deeper and covers different phases of his life, when other attempts had happened. The struggles he suffered involved drug abuse, dealing with his sexual identity, and a lot of negative self-image.</p> <p>Today, he has turned his life around. He is married, engaged in mental health advocacy, has founded and led the Mastery in Communication Initiative at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, he is a published author, and was generous enough to share his story with us hoping that it will inspire others to make different and healthier choices in their lives.</p> <p>Watch his TED talk:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/3GLLfd4">https://bit.ly/3GLLfd4</a></p> <p>Find JC Schramm:</p> <p><a href="https://jdschramm.com/about/">https://jdschramm.com/about/</a></p> <p>Enroll in my course&nbsp;"How to help suicidal people."&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3klNZ7n">https://bit.ly/3klNZ7n&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Visit my page&nbsp;<a href="https://www.understandsuicide.com/">www.understandsuicide.com &nbsp;</a></p> <p>Find my book "Understanding suicide: living with loss, paths to prevention:”</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2ANczuR">https://amzn.to/2ANczuR&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Read my blog on Psychology Today:</p> <p><a href="https://bit.ly/2Y9WdID">https://bit.ly/2Y9WdID</a></p> <p>Exchange experiences on my Facebook page:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3h8sIet">https://bit.ly/3h8sIet&nbsp;</a></p> <p>If you need to talk, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on their website or phone:</p> <p>https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org</p> <p>Phone: 800-273-8255</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/paula-fontenelle/message
