Crisis
The moment when your existing ways no longer suffice — danger and opportunity at once.
How it shows up
A crisis isn’t just severe distress; it is a state in which the old answers don’t work. That is why it is often the entry point into therapy — while things somehow keep going, few people decide to change.
What we do with it in therapy
First stabilisation and safety, only then understanding. Questions about the meaning of a crisis aren’t due in the acute phase.
