I understand that we fundamentally disagree on this. I do not want care inflicted upon me without my consent and I choose to not put myself in a situation where it can easily be done. I also choose to show others that same respect. The therapist is not involved with my health to begin with and any concern someone might have they can discuss with me. From there they can choose to keep engaging with me or to walk away. It is not theirs to decide to interfere with my choices.

I was in an accident a few years ago where one of the persons on the scene kept identifying herself as a nurse and kept telling me what to do and not do - I ignored her. Paramedics had been called while I was unconscious and the self identified nurse tried to make them take me to the hospital after I had refused. People like that scare the bejeezus out of me. And yes - I would have preferred the paramedics not be called in the first place. Thankfully I came to before they could whisk me off to the medical establishment where I would have had treatment inflicted upon me that I did not wish to have.
