I have lost an aunt, a cousin, and a number of friends to suicide, and as horrific as it is to have someone I loved take that exit, I have still experienced SI myself. I have dialogued openly with my therapist when I have SI. She's wonderful about it...doesn't act shocked or disbelieving; she reacts in a way I think is totally appropriate. She's supportive, and encourages me to recall the life improvements I've made with the proper meds and with therapy. She does not threaten me with IP. One time when I was in an especially bad state of mind and my T called between sessions to check on me. I really appreciated that.
