I had a suicidal crisis for a few days a couple of months ago. I had my regular session and I told her about my thoughts and then they got worse so I emailed her and asked for an emergency session the next day because I was scared of how intense the thoughts were. She fit me in and the session was about my thoughts and figuring out a safely plan and trying to find the triggers and stuff. I had to come up with a special plan and promise I would keep myself safe.

In my opinion an emergency/crisis is if you are having self harm or suicidal thoughts and you can't keep yourself safe.
