Exposure therapy is an agreement of sorts. If a therapist continues after a client has said to stop - they must agree to stop. Informed consent is a standard that is applicable through healthcare in general. Therapy does hurt and sometimes you must get worse before you can get better, but to expose someone to trauma to the extent that they become suicidal, that should be the limit.
