A few sessions in my T actually made me sign a contract which included:

- stay in therapy for at least one year
- contacting her before I harm myself in any way
- no contact allowed for a 24 hour period after I have harmed myself in any way
- no admission to a hospital without talking to her first
- any suicide attempt would result in immediate termination
- no termination is allowed without talking it through with her

I know this can seem a little harsh, but it really helped me as I had an history of quitting therapy without notice and of SIing before sessions to justify my need for help. When I did that my Si was actually rewarded with a session, which was not helpful, in this scenario I was rewarded with the session if I didn't harm myself.
