This lesson focuses on "Safety Assessment and Action Planning for Self-Harm/Suicidal Ideation." Please relax first; don't rush to judge yourself or categorize your experience as good or bad. Self-harm or suicidal ideation usually indicates that the pain has exceeded what one can bear alone. Discussing it isn't about increasing fear, but about placing the danger in a position where it can be addressed. A safety assessment considers the intensity and frequency of the thoughts, whether there's a concrete plan, whether the impulse can be controlled, whether there are any dangerous objects nearby, and whether someone can be contacted. If the risk increases, don't try to tough it out alone; immediately contact local emergency services, crisis lines, a doctor, a psychologist, or someone you trust. Learning this section isn't about labeling yourself, but about clearly seeing recurring pain, relationship turmoil, and physical warning signs. When you can articulate what's happening, emotions are no longer a complete fog; they begin to have names, boundaries, and access points that can be addressed. This course can help you organize and practice, but it cannot replace doctors, psychologists, or crisis intervention. If you are experiencing intense self-harm or suicidal thoughts, or if you feel unable to guarantee your safety, please immediately contact local emergency services, crisis lines, a doctor, a psychologist, or someone you trust. After listening, please give yourself a minute to write down the sentence that touched you the most today, and also a small, safe, and achievable act of care that you can do today. Each reflection is not a judgment, but rather a way to help you better understand what support you need next time. Gently remind yourself that understanding is not indulgence, and responsibility is not self-punishment. If your emotions rise, please pause, let your breathing return, and then decide on your next step. You don't need to be perfect the first time; simply being a little more aware than before is already a change. Prioritize safety, and postpone relationship decisions and major decisions until your emotions have calmed down. While practicing, please take care of your body; drink some water, sit firmly, and return to the present moment. After listening, please record a feeling of peace and also a small action you can take today. If the content touched on old wounds, please leave the source of the stimulus and seek trustworthy support.

○ Music therapy guidance
Music therapy can provide temporary stability during a crisis, but it cannot replace crisis intervention. If self-harm or suicidal thoughts occur, prioritize contacting first aid, a hotline, or someone you trust. Choose only low-stimulation, low-volume background music to accompany you while waiting for help and to keep your body present. Keep the volume gentle. Let your breathing return slowly. Note any changes in your body after listening. Stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable. Contact professional support if necessary. Take it slow; don't rush to change anything. Take it slow.
