Is it possible to see a therapist without wanting them convincing you to not commit suicide?
I have deep distrust towards mental health professionals due to my past experiences of being treated for depression psychiatrically (meds, therapy, hospitalizations, etc.). I no longer believe I can be helped, I have an active suicide plan and no intention of changing my mind on it.
Could I see a therapist to just openly talk about things to do with my suicide, such as possible family reactions? I'm worried of them using personal information against me (say I mention a friend I care about, and they later say something along the lines of "stay alive for your friend, think about how he'd feel, etc...") to try and convince me to not go through with it. I also understand that they have their own ethical policies and if I openly say I have a plan, method, means and intent, they're likely to just hospitalize me, or they may be unable to help me with this exact request since they're bound by rules about risk management.
Does anyone have any experience with things like this? Or knowledge of the field and ethical (?) limits? Just wondering.
