345: A Conversation on Suicide Prevention - with Dr. Kathryn Hope Gordon, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Thursday, 17 September, 2026
Kathryn Hope Gordon, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist in the Boston area who specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy. For the first 10 years of her career, she was a professor who taught classes and published research focused on eating disorders and suicide prevention. Currently, she is the Director of Clinical Training for a virtual eating disorder treatment organization. Dr. Gordon is passionate about sharing science-informed therapy tools with as many people as possible through trainings, public speaking, and writing. She is the author of The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook: CBT Skills to Reduce Emotional Pain, Increase Hope, and Prevent Suicide and The Suicidal Thoughts Guided Journal: CBT Practices to Soothe Emotional Pain, Build Coping Skills, and Find Hope. In this episode, we share an open conversation about suicide prevention, including common misconceptions, warning signs, reducing stigma and shame, and the importance of talking about suicide openly. We discuss the importance of compassionate listening, meaningful support, and addressing broader societal factors, including access to care, discrimination, and unmet basic needs. We also touch on how clinicians can approach suicide risk assessment with care, the importance of individualized support rather than responding out of anxiety, and considerations around hospitalization and avoiding further harm. This episode, like with all episodes, is not a replacement for professional support or crisis care. We hope to remind you that you're not alone and that there is hope. FOLLOW DR.
