Therapists do have to follow professional standards as all other professionals do but they aren't omnipotent creatures or Gods who must put their life in danger for the sake of the client. Therapists are humans not some god like creatures.

If I show up to my dentist and get aggressive she'll call 911 and rightly so. But if I start acting like this in t office she can't even suggest I need different treatment, she is supposed to be ok with whatever I do. Not even allowed to refer etc nobody says that it's persons fault she is aggressive if she is unwell, but if she gets aggressive in other settings shed get arrested but somehow it's ok to get like this in therapist office.

I have never heard in real life that therapists supposed to adhere to higher standards than other professionals. I only see it on this board: expecting therapists to be above everyone else.
