If you experience an emergency or crisis while attending therapy, please reach out to the appropriate resources immediately. Therapy sessions are not designed for immediate crisis intervention. For urgent support, you can contact local emergency services, a crisis hotline (such as 988 in the U.S. for mental health emergencies), or go to the nearest emergency room. Once the immediate situation is stabilized, you can share the experience with your therapist during your next session so they can support you in processing the event and planning next steps.
