This article provides a personal account of loss, survival, and professional learning following a client’s suicide. The therapist’s own narrative is woven in with research about the construct of clinician-as-suicide-survivor. Aspects of supervision and training are discussed, in particular the importance of teaching an appreciation of danger and the demystification of psychotherapy through sharing stories of failure and loss.
