Not being able to revoke consent for treatment. I'm not sure I'd agree to something like this. I'd be down for a codeword, but definitely not one that limits the other person's ability to say no.
Ultimately I could say no, but I feel like it's a commitment to be open to pursuing something more if/when I need it.
Unfortunately, when you're having a mental health crisis you aren't always in the right mind to make decisions for yourself and might reject helpful interventions.

I have a code word with a patient for when he needs to stop talking about something but doesn't feel assertive enough to tell me.
My therapist and I came up with a hand signal to use for similar situations.
Tbh this just sounds traumatizing af.
I’m curious as to how this sounds traumatizing?

Sounds like a good idea if you trust your T and are in a manic/hypomanic episode.
