This is why you have to be very careful about what you tell staff in situations like this. There are certain "buzzwords", like SH and sui, that will get a strong reaction of some kind, especially from people newer to the field. So long as the clinician reacts in some way, even over reacts, they didn't do anything wrong.

He did draw a safety plan, and I had agreed to it and had agreed to come back or go in if things got worse. That's why it's confusing how he responded by calling my cousin after I had agreed to a plan.
Funny thing is that yesterday I went to the crisis Center and talked to a therapist for 2 hours. I told him more than what I told the other therapist and he even read through a few notes from previous sessions. He let me go home even though he was concerned because I didn't have any plans etc.
