“If I had been you as a friend, I would have expressed my concern, but I would not have tried to influence her. It is the law of karma”. This is what the healer from Lifeforum says about helping a suicidal person in a hidden recording that Kalla facts reveals in the program “Enticed to suicide”.
Suicide Zero’s general secretary Rickard Bracken sees it as very dangerous advice.
– I almost think it is similar to an invitation, which is criminal, he says.
In Kalla fakta’s program “Attracted to suicide”, the healer Karin Jonsson, who works at the healing center Lifeforum, is revealed to give the advice that you as a relative should not intervene in the case of suicide.
Rickard Bracken, general secretary of the non-profit organization Suicide Zero, recognizes the notion that suicide is a choice.
– For the vast majority, it is not about a conscious choice. It is a reaction to psychological pain, that you cannot stand it and act in affect and on impulse. And then this type of self-assured, stupid statements can be life-threatening, he says.
“What others say is very important”
The time when a suicidal person acts on their thoughts is often no longer than ten minutes. Therefore, the support of one person can be life-changing.
– When you have suicidal thoughts, your thinking is often clouded. But alongside there are thoughts about life and hope for life. The life force in man is strong. So when you are in the balance, what is around us and what others say is very important, says Rickard Bracken.
Lured to suicide
The orientation Love & light with “starseeds” and “lightworkers” is spreading among young people. But behind promises of self-development, messages of suicide are being spread.
