Now we have freely available books, great online courses, YouTube tutorials, etc, this holdover from another context is hardly necessary. I hope we move faster a new system that works better for our current constraints. But big social idntitutions are slow to adapt.

I doubt anyone thinks it's the best way, teaching large groups of children is efficient if you have limited teachers per community and parents busy with work. Small farming communities might have one teacher for 30 kids of different ages. Bigger might have classes by age.

Longer conversations aren't more helpful. Once you build rapport, explore the issue, know what they're looking for, collaboratively search for solutions together, and make a plan, stop! Rumination and repetitive circling around are easy patterns to fall into.

I like that! Suggests a plan: 1) identify censors 2) figure out why they are there 3) is there a way of communicating that successfully re-routes around them?

The guidelines are consistent with Authentic Relating (AR) and Non-Violent Communication (NVC). It's about empathy and listening, not judging, sympathizing, or trying to fix problems. broke: "I'm sorry" "have you tried X?" woke: "I hear you" "what does help look like for you?"

Even the training is emotionally hard! I'm remembering the times in my past when I could have used someone like me, and wishing I (or someone else) had been there for past-me. Plus it's tiring to rewire thought patterns.

They can assert things like "if you use the words 'strong/brave/proud', the texter is X% more likely to rate the conversation as helpful." Or, that the data debunks the myth that bringing up suicide will plant the idea in someone's head, and that it's safer to ask explicitly.

I'm often cynical about organizations and institutions. This one is astoundingly effective and actually trying. The online training is great. CTL has the world's largest database on crisis conversations, and they're using it to increase the effectiveness of volunteers like me.

I'm training to be a counselor for Crisis Textline (CTL), an asynchronous resource for cooling people down from hot moments. Already, I've learned a lot. CW suicide etc. Thread:

Yeah, and that sounds like a reasonable censor to have. I have so many censors, some useful and some not. It's a shock I ever say anything. And valuable information gets lost in my trying to keep the signal:noise unreasonably high
