Well, my T seemed to take it pretty serious, more so than obesity. And I was quite obese at the time I was seeing my T. I even tried to discount those thoughts multiple times, as just passing thoughts, but not my T, who saw the ideation as the work of a mind so powerless and hopeless that escape from living is considered as the only way out of the pain and misery.
My T seemed to see a link from SI to suicide and it concerned her quite a bit. Perhaps my T was worried about accidental sui, like ScarletPimpernel mentioned. Or maybe my T was anxious because of some client maybe who committed sui and she had not taken the signs serious, I don't know. Regardless, that is just my experience with one T when I was a teen.
