The Samaritans are poorly untrained individuals who quiz people to make out there listening but do so to fulfil their own sick curiosity. Then, I have observed, they belittle the caller by saying some pathetic opinion or viewpoint but not an empowering one.Not trauma informed at all (which they should be, for a suicide helpline, at the very least) and the least empowering helpline I’ve ever contacted.After I hung up, I was angry, distressed, disempowered and actually felt a little queasy (stress, or anxiety probably) from the volunteers inappropriate questions and quizzing .The victim mindset was enabled, even encouraged and the lady was out of her depth speaking to an empowered female who wanted a space and a listening ear to take responsibility. Still, she belittled me and I hang up.Made me sickDon’t call the Samaritans Try CALM
