Abstract

We examined associations between features of body sensations in people with and without suicidal thoughts and behaviors in two online samples (Sample 1: N = 132; Sample 2: N = 450). We found that body sensations during suicidal thinking were negative and intense, and described as uncomfortable, numb, and empty.
