The first nine years I was in therapy with my therapist I realized later in life was just for "support" and didn't really "do" anything besides help me form a base. I would think that learning good crisis management skills and knowing there is support, would be worth a great deal to me. For me, a lot of crises occurred because I wasn't very good at avoiding them or they weren't quite as hard as they seemed to me. Not everyone responds to crises the same way and/or has as difficult a time with them as others might? I'd use the crises to perfect my responses to events that occur in my life and be grateful for the support of having someone around to bounce things off of/witness my struggles with compassion/caring.
