Lesson Overview

12.43 – Creating a Nighttime Safety Plan for Crisis Nights: When emotional crises strike after dark, pre-planned strategies prevent panic from spiraling. A safety plan might include contacts you can call, coping tools, or grounding reminders written on paper beside your bed. List your therapist’s or hotline numbers, soothing playlists, and safe distractions like drawing or stretching. Keep medications organized to avoid confusion. Decide in advance what actions feel grounding—lighting a candle, stepping outside briefly, or hugging a blanket. Crisis thinking narrows focus, so having steps visible bypasses chaos. Share your plan with someone you trust for accountability. Over time, the routine of preparation reduces fear of the unexpected. Knowing you have structure keeps small setbacks from feeling catastrophic. Each completed night strengthens confidence in your self-management skills. Crisis safety planning turns darkness from threat into opportunity—a demonstration of control, awareness, and continued progress toward stability and peace.
