Maybe it also reaffirms that the T cares which could be helpful especially when it's more a case of the thoughts are there but you don't really want to act on them; just don't know what alternatives there are and can't see them
For those where it's beyond that; i don't know that any contract would really be that helpful because there is no reason not to break it if you are beyond the point of caring at all
Is there anything your T could do that would help healed; if the contract idea isn't working for you?

I am not sure if there is anything else that T can do.. except continue to do what we are doing in thearpy. I think that until I feel like the panic disorder is no longer taking control of my life I may have on and off thoughts and plans of suicide.. T even says that a certain amount of thinking about it is okay and is a coping mechanisim.. understand that is not a good or healthy way out of my issues is what I need to learn. I guess it is a matter of me finally accepting who I am, realizing that I am actually important to the people around me and that I do contribute and I am not a burden to my family. I suppose that all takes time.
