Existential therapy doesn't shy away from concepts related to meaning and death, and therefore we may talk with clients about suicidal ideation, passive or otherwise. I would say that many people deal with passive suicidal thoughts. The way I am defining that is, they wouldn't mind dying, but would not take steps to die. When clients have passive suicidal thoughts, we do not rush them to the hospital - we talk with them about their risk to determine - is this imminent? Do they have a plan or method available to them? If they do not have these elements, their thoughts are likely passive. How do you all feel about talking with clients who have passive suicidality? How can existential therapy help them with this?
