If acting out and other behavior is really producing a problem for you then seeing your therapist more often can help contain that a bit. But it all really depends on so many factors. I've had therapist who don't consider anything a true crisis unless hospitalization is necessary. Others have been quite the opposite, accepting that if I'm simply preoccupied and not feeling as healthy as I want to be, they have responded as if a kind of crisis and gave me extra time to work it out.

But then I like therapy in general and find it meaningful rather than a "treatment" for "symptoms." I just have a different approach to it right now; it's much more exploration and a time I take for myself, even if within that process I still have times when I feel like reaching out.
