The goal of this study is to provide an initial pilot test of an Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) designed the reduce the distress associated with negative emotion among individuals at risk for suicide that pairs content from a smartphone with a wearable physiological monitor. Participants will be 25 suicidal adult inpatients who will complete three brief therapy sessions with a study therapist and then complete exercises associated with the study for the duration of the inpatient period and for 28 days after they leave the hospital. During the time they are in the study, participants will be asked to install on their smartphone a mobile application to deliver the therapeutic content and will wear a physiological monitoring device on their wrist (Empatica Embrace) which will monitor objective signals of physiological distress (e.g., skin conductance).
