I am wondering too. Is a crisis defined by something objective, like



or is it determined more subjectively, by the client's normal state? By this I mean if a client who is normally calm and collected, etc., suddenly enters a state of emotional upheaval but does not have the triggers mentioned above, is that judged a crisis for them? (I have felt this way a lot lately, but am hesitant to say it's an actual crisis to either therapist.)

Or is it defined both ways?
