Debrief Questions
- What made leaving hard overall?
- Did you feel like you were leaving the person or the conversation?
- Were you tempted to promise something you couldn't actually promise?
- Did you feel like you were abandoning the person? Did that remind you of times when you felt abandoned?
- Unless the person stopped being suicidal, do you think it ever would have felt okay to leave?
- In those last few minutes, whose needs were you trying to meet?
