# 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"
|
|
|
|
