In this conversation, Dan talks with Johanna Mickelson about the Distress-Processing Model for people in suicidal crisis. In this conversation, Johanna shares her experiences working in a Crisis Center and discusses the challenges and insights gained from her time in crisis management.

Most of the conversation focuses on the Distress-Processing Model for people in suicidal crisis: Its development and application. The Distress processing model consists of the stages that people go through to move through their suicidal crisis. The stages consist of:

• Unengaged with distress: Minimal or no engagement with distress.
• Distress awareness: Recognizing distressing behaviors, emotions, or thoughts.
• Distress connection: Linking distress to specific stressors or experiences.
• Distress insight: Gaining an understanding of why the distress is personally relevant.
• Applying distress insight: Using new insights to identify ways forward.
