Yeah, that is ✨stellar✨ advice to give someone who is on the verge of killing themselves. Someone who doesn't have the motivation to get out of bed to eat, let alone the strength to 'get their head out of their ass'. I know your motivation might be tough love but that doesn't apply to everyone. Some people need a hand to hold, a kind voice to reassure them, some people need someone to physically help them to get the metaphorical ball rolling. 

But sure, "get your head out of your ass" is great advice. You're going to be an ✨amazing✨ therapist, for sure.
