Suicide — the topic we avoid. The conversation new therapists are trained to face despite discomfort and fear. The nightmare for families and loved ones. Yet it’s something that has weighed heavily on humanity’s mind since the beginning of time. How do we confront it? How do we talk about it? And perhaps most importantly, should it be considered a human right?

In this episode, I wade into the dark and murky waters of suicidality with the help of Albert Camus, Emil Cioran, Viktor Frankl, and the Stoics. Together, we ask: where does autonomy end, and where does protection from ourselves begin?

Maybe, once again, we’ll find that no answer is black and white — and it’s in the absurd complexity of it all that we begin to glimpse something like clarity.
