T's are trained to see the paranoia and delusions associated with a psychotic episode. If you have a T in place prior to the episode, he/she can help you through it because a level of trust is established. A psychotic person often will trust their own T even when they don't trust anyone else. Of course it depends on the level of the episode. Hospitalization may be necessary.

There have been times that I was talked thru a psychotic episode and did not need to be hospitalized.
