A Utah entrepreneur and Wall Street Journal bestselling author started a program to help people develop a healthier relationship with their own feelings and aid in suicide prevention.
"It's OK to feel — and feel deeply. And, if you need help, there's help," Morley said.
"It's because the pain and shame are so overwhelming, they need an escape. If we get rid of that shame … there's no need to escape," Morley said. "Leaving the shame behind and stepping into responsibility, stepping into guilt and stepping into making people whole will obliterate the idea of suicide."Men are four times more likely than women to die by suicide. For Joe Tuia'ana that's more than a statistic.
When Williamson died, Morley said he realized his friend might have been able to live if he had known how to process his pain. He tried to find more resources on authentic versus counterfeit emotions. But when he couldn't, he called his publisher and said, "I need to write a very different book." "The authentic emotions, every single one of them, value me as having infinite worth. The counterfeits say I'm worthless," Morley said."Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional," he said. "Most people, including myself, have never learned that principle … that pain and joy can exist simultaneously in the same space.
