Today my T wanted to make a crisis plan with me, she said it's something the mental health center is doing for all clients to have in their files. It really annoyed me for some reason, I guess because we spent the whole session doing it and I feel like it was a waste of my time. While we were working on it, all I could do is sit there and stare at the paper she was writing on and focus on the fact that she spelled negative wrong. I just don't understand the point of doing a crisis plan because I know what I do to cope and she knows what I do, and they are healthy things, so why do we need to spend a whole session writing it on paper? Basically what I got out of it all is that I need to reach out to people more and ask for help when I need it, but it's such a hard thing for me to do because I've spent most of my life keeping everything to myself and coping on my own.

Has anyone else done a crisis plan, and did it help you at all?
