Wow. This is really out of bounds. My understanding about emergency contacts is that they are for notifying your contact there has been an emergency--accident, illness, injury--and where you are located so that your contact can find you. For example, if an employer has an emergency contact for you, they wouldn't call your cousin to tell them you were having problems at work, but they would call if you broke your leg and were taken to the hospital.

In this case, if that therapist felt this was an emergency due to you being at risk of sui, then they should have sought to have you admitted--but the fact is, it was not that kind of an emergency and they knew this and bungled the whole thing. Sounds like an incompetent therapist to me. I'm really sorry.
