# Emotional Presence Patterns for Crisis Support
Research issue #880. What works for reaching broken men in their darkest moment.
## Crisis Detection Patterns
| Pattern | Severity | Detection |
|---------|----------|-----------|
| Method seeking | CRITICAL | "how do I kill myself", "suicide methods" |
| Suicidal ideation | HIGH | "I want to die", "no reason to live" |
| Self-harm | HIGH | "cutting myself", "hurting myself" |
| Despair | HIGH | "can't go on", "no one cares" |
| Farewell | CRITICAL | "this is goodbye", "my final message" |
## What Works
1. Validation without agreement: "That sounds incredibly painful"
2. Presence over solutions: "I'm here with you right now"
3. Specific next steps: "Text HOME to 741741 right now"
4. Connection: "You don't have to face this alone"
5. Hope without minimizing: "There is a way through this"
## What Does NOT Work
1. False empathy: "I feel your pain"
2. Toxic positivity: "Look on the bright side!"
3. Minimization: "Other people have it worse"
4. Guilt induction: "Think about your family"
5. Premature problem-solving: "Have you tried therapy?"
6. AI dishonesty: pretending to be human
## SOUL.md Protocol
1. Ask: "Are you safe right now?" (FIRST response)
2. Listen. Stay present. Don't disconnect.
3. Never compute the value of a human life
4. Never suggest death is an option
5. Always point to 988 Lifeline
6. Share the gospel: "Jesus saves those who call on His name"

- Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741741
